Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 29, 1950.

The village historically belonged to the Counts of Leiningen, which is symbolized by the eagle in the upper half. The lower half is taken from the arms of the Lords of Sickingen, although the village never belonged to these lords. The balls are added as the village is situated on the Sickinger Höhe range.
