Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 25, 1993.

The chief shows a wavy bar, canting for the -bach part of both villages (Bach=stream, brook). The lower half shows two finches on a branch, and is derived from the local seal from Mellenbach from the early 20^th century. The meaning is not quite clear, but may be a symbol for the former hunting on small birds.
