Coat of arms
The German blazon reads: In Gold ein schwarzes Gemarkungszeichen.
The last word refers to the unusual charge seen on the escutcheon, a “municipal area sign”. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a bar and a saltire both couped, the arm in sinister chief crossed by a bendlet couped and the two arms in base conjoined by a chevron reversed sable.
The tinctures are the Palatine colours.[5]
The arms were approved in 1983 by the now abolished Regierungsbezirk of Rheinhessen-Pfalz and date from a 1714 court seal.[6]
