In Blau ein silbernes Hufeisen mit abwärts gekehrten Stollen, mitten darin eine silberne Rose mit blauen Butzen.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 2, 1981.

The horse-shoe refers to the name of the village, which can be translated as village of smithies. One of the oldest houses in the village historically also was a smithy. The rose refers to the cultivation of roses in the village. The colours are those of the Counts of Leiningen.
