Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1901.

The oldest seal of the village dates from the 18^th century, but it is no longer known what it actually showed. In the 19^th century the local council used a seal with only the letter N.

The municipal stamp shown in 1892

In 1901 the state archives proposed the above arms, which are derived from the arms of the Lords of Venningen (see below), Lords of Neidenstein from the 14^th century. To distinguish the arms an additional sceptre was added.
