Official blazon

(de) Geteilt von Gold und Silber, oben zwei schwarz gekreuzte, rotbewehrte Bärentatzen, unten ein rotes Kreuz.

Origin/meaning

The bear claws are taken from the coat of arms of the extinct Knights von Kretz. The red cross in silver, as a modified version of the arams of the State of Trier reminds of the former affiliation of the place to Trier.
