(de) Schild durch eine gestützte Spitze gespalten, darin ein wachsendes goldenes Kreuz, belegt mit blauem Schwert; vorne ein rotes Balkenkreuz in Silber; hinten ein silberner Balken in Rot.

Origin/meaning

The red cross symbolises the State of Trier, to which the area historically belonged. The single bar symbolises the Gallscheid court, to which jurisdiction the village belonged. The golden cross and the sword are the symbols of St. Philippus and St. James, patron saint of the village.
