The arms show a canting beaver (Biber), which already appeared on the local seals from the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The arms showed the beaver in black on a golden field until 1957 when the above arms were granted (see below for the old arms). The new colours are those of the Counts of [[Katzenelnbogen]]. The village belonged to the counts since 1267 and they granted the city rights in 1312. | |||
