Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 23, 1960.

As there were no historical seals or arms known for the village, canting arms were designed in 1959. The name can be derived from Aal-hausen (Eel-house), hence a swimming eel and a house. The eel also appeared on the seal of the local Lords of Olnhausen from the 13^th century. The colours of their arms were not known, but they used a silver and blue banner, from which the colours of the village arms were derived.
