Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 14, 1964.
The upper right corner shows a lion's head, which is based on the statue of a lion's head in the village church. This statue probably dates from the time the village was settled and used to be connected to the local watch tower. The silver bend symbolises the Reidenbach river, whereas the oak leaf symbolises the old Kaisereiche tree in the village. The left half shows the chequered field of the Counts of Sponheim, who ruled the area for many centuries.
Literature: Heyen und Zimmer, 1966
