The arms were officially granted on June 2, 1986.


The ears are symbole agriculture, the cogwheel industries. The helmet is alluding to the Knights of Bechhofen, who lived in the village around 1200. The lion is taken from the arms of the Dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken, former local rulers. The tinctures on dexter half are those of their predecessors, the Counts of Homburg.  
The first attempts of the local council to adopt arms date from 1950. At the time the council wanted a canting Pechofen (an oven to make wood-tar) and a helmet as a symbol for the medieval Knights of Bechhofen. However, no arms were granted.  


The village originally applied for arms in 1950 and the design showed a canting Pechofen (an oven to make wood-tar) and a helmet for the Knights of Bechhofen.
In the new arms the helmet remained and were combined with symbols for agriculture and industry on the right half. The colours are those of their predecessors, the Counts of Homburg.  The lion is taken from the arms of the Dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken, who ruled the village until 1793.
