The right half of the arms shows a sword with a cross. The sword is used as a symbol for the local patron saint, St. martin. The cross is a canting element, for the -kirchen (church) part of the name. The left half is taken from the arms of the Lords of Winter, who ruled the area from the 15th until the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The black and silver colours are those of the County of Battenberg, to which the territory historically belonged. | The right half of the arms shows a sword with a cross.
