The arms show a birch tree as a canting symbol (Birke). The chequered shield is the arms of the Counts of Sponheim, who ruled the village and city (city rights were granted in 1332) from the 13<sup>th</sup> century until 1437. The number of fields in the small shield varies as it is not officially described. | The arms show a birch tree as a canting symbol (Birke).
