The arms show a bunch of grapes and a plough iron, both derived from the old seal of the village. The oldest known seal of the village dates from 1768 and shows a crowned wheel, flanked by the grapes and plough. The wheel is the symbol of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]], to which the village belonged from medieval times until 1803. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the village used a seal with a shield showing only the wheel. As the wheel is very common, it was decided to use the typical village symbols of the 18<sup>th</sup> century seal in the new arms.
