Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 1, 1935 and confirmed on September 30, 1983.

The seals of the town, known since 1541 all showed a canting church (Münster), and the lion of Nassau. The new arms were based on the old seals. The town belonged to Nassau from the 14^th century until 1803.

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925

Municipal stationery, 1960s

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
