Coat of arms

The German blazon reads: Von Gold über Silber geteilt durch einen schräglinken blauen Wellenbalken, oben ein blau bewehrter und gezungter roter Löwe, unten eine schwarze Postkutsche.

The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy azure between Or a lion passant gules armed and langued of the first, and argent a stagecoach sable.

The lion refers to the village’s former allegiance to the Lower County of Katzenelnbogen, while the other charge refers to the coaching inn that was formerly located in Niedert. The “bend sinister wavy” (slanted stripe) symbolizes the Baybach, a brook which on one side of the municipality marks the municipal limit, and which once also marked the boundary between two territories[4].
