===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The old arms were granted on January 14, 1925; the present arms on September 23, 1982. | |||
The old arms | |||
In 1905 the village council applied for arms, based on a 'local seal'. The seal, however, was not described and there are no historical seals or arms known for the village. The design showed a Moor's head in the upper half and the letters W and M in the lower half. For some reason the application procedure took a long time, and the Moor's head was politically unacceptable at the time. The head thus was replaced by the blue lion of the Counts of Veldenz. The village, however, was never a possession of the Counts of Veldenz, but of the Counts of Homburg. Thus in 1982 the lion of Homburg was added in the upper half. | In 1905 the village council applied for arms, based on a 'local seal'.

Due to the heraldic rule of tincture, the colours of the lower half had to be changed as well, but had no historical value or meaning. | Due to the heraldic rule of tincture, the colours of the lower half had to be changed as well, but had no historical value or meaning. | ||
