The Knights of Wiesbaum had five silver rings in their black shield head in their coat of arms, which were taken over into the coat of arms of the local community of Wiesbaum, but on a red background. The district of Mirbach is closely connected with the Rhenish noble family von Mirbach , who had their parent company here. The von Mirbach carried silver deer antlers with grind in black. Your coat of arms is shown in the wrong colors in the lower part of the coat of arms. The division of the coat of arms also stands for the two districts of Wiesbaum and Mirbach.
