Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 1, 1980.

The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, dating from 1346. The bars are derived from the arms of the Counts of Isenburg-Arenfels, to whom the city belonged in medieval times. The vine symbolises the importance of viticulture in the area.
