Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 13, 1980.

The raven with the stick refers to the legend of the foundation of the local church, in which a raven took a bloody piece of wood from the church of Neukirchen to Maithenbeth. Where he put the stick on the ground, the local church was built.

The horse is taken from the arms of the Haag County, which used a silver horse in its arms. The horse was derived from the oldest Lords of Haag.
