===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on April 22, 1963. | |||
The three diamonds are taken from the arms of the former Ritter von Nickenich, who had their estate in the village from 1163-1616. | |||
The ring is derived from the legend of St. Arnulf (Arnulphus) of Metz, the oldest local patron saint. According to the legend, Arnulf was tormented by the violence that surrounded him and feared that he had played a role in the wars and murders that plagued the areas. Obsessed by these sins, Arnulf went to a bridge over the Mosel river, took off his ring and threw it into the river, praying to God to give him a sign of absolution by returning the ring to him. Many years later, a fisherman brought to the bishop's kitchen a fish in the stomach of which was found the bishop's ring. Arnulf repaid the sign of God by immediately retiring as bishop and becoming a hermit for the remainder of his life. | |||
