coat of arms

Blazon : “With a looped blue tip, in it four 1: 2: 1 set silver edge cubes, split; in front, divided obliquely by silver and red, and covered by a blue peacock turned to the left; behind in silver a green linden tree with a rooted black trunk. " The coat of arms has been legally valid since January 26, 1971 based on a design by Ernst Zeller, Raubach.

Justification of the coat of arms: The peacock on the diagonal division is taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Wied , whose territory Döttesfeld belonged to until 1806. Red and silver are the colors of Isenburg , which Döttesfeld originally owned. The judicial linden tree indicates the formerly Wied judicial district of Puderbach. The four cubes symbolize the four districts of Döttesfeld, Bauscheid, Oberehre and Breitscheid.
