Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 20, 1935.

The arms a re based on the arms of the Lords of Friemersheim (Vrymersheim), who originated from the area. The local seal showed already in the 14th century the lion and three roses of the Friemersheim arms. The family also had estates in what is now the Netherlands, their arms are also used as the arms of <a href=s/sintodil|Sint Odiliënberg]]. The bucket (Eimer) was added to the arms as a canting symbol for the town of Hochemmerich.
