Blazon : "Under the head of the shield in gold, sheathed in two rows of blue and gold, diagonally right, a red bar, accompanied by a red sheaf at the top and a red fountain at the bottom."

Justification of the coat of arms: The chess in blue and gold in the shield head reminds of the fact that the place belongs to the front county of Sponheim . From the 15th century to 1708 there was a joint administration of the Electoral Palatinate , the ducal Palatinate-Simmerian and margravial Baden administration. Red and gold in the coat of arms refer to the coat of arms of the margraves of Baden. The affiliation to Baden existed from 1708 to 1794.

The fountain stands for the courtyard fountains that once existed in the community and helped shape the place name. The grain sheaf is a symbol of the community's important agricultural profession.
