Below in green an oblique left wavy band , on the top right accompanied by a silver vine stalk with a silver grape and a silver leaf, on the bottom left accompanied by a silver ax and a silver shovel that cross each other.

In the heart shield appears a bear with a star, which plays a role in the iconography of St. Maximin. In the lower half of the coat of arms, the wavy band indicates the Ruwer as the dominant river of the landscape, in which viticulture - embodied by the grape - agriculture - embodied by the shovel - and forestry - embodied by the ax - play the main economic roles.
