A gold carrier held by three pillars refers to the three storey houses Kooshof, Theishof and Hiwelshof. The two passages in the girder represent the two Enz bridges in the village. On the right flank of the split shield is the red-silver-red of the County of Vianden and on the left flank dominate the gold of the Sinspelter Gutland and a Roman jug made of shards in Black. |
