Coat of arms
The community's arms recalls, with the cross pattée resembling the Teutonic Knights’ cross and the black eagle's head as part of the whole, the community's almost 600-year allegiance to the Koblenz House of the Teutonic Knights. The red cross and the tincture silver stand for the overlordship of the Electorate of Trier.
