Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1968 and combine elements from the arms of the former municipalities.

The upper half is derived from the arms of Weidenau, the lower from Geisweid. The arms as a whole are partly canting (Hütte=factory) and symbolise the importance of heavy industry for the municipality.
