coat of arms

Blazon : "A blue wave bar in silver, accompanied by a green birch branch at the top and an eight-spoke red water wheel at the bottom."

The birch branches in the municipality's coat of arms indicate the possible origin of the name Brickeln. The wave bar symbolizes the Helmschen Bach, which flows through the municipality. The water wheel is a reminder of the Brickeln watermill, which was once a remarkable business enterprise and located on this very stream. In the middle of the last century the operation was closed and the building was later demolished after the mill had existed for at least 200 years.
