Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 6, 1980.
The historical arms of the village were a large golden ball in a green field. The meaning therof is not known and these arms were never officially granted.
The lyre in the new arms refers to the rich musical tradition in the village. The base refers to the Königsberg hill near the village. The wavy division line refers to the Talbach river. The red and gold are the colours of the Counts of the Rhein (Rheingrafen), to whom the area historically belonged.
Literature: Debus, 1988
