The arms show in the first quarter the arms of [[Longwy]], as the town historically belonged to the district of Longwy. The second quarter shows the local chapel of St. Martin on a hill (thus a canting field, Mont means mountain). The two stars represent the hamlets of Glaba and Autrux. The third quarter shows a blast furnace and two cog wheels, symbols of industry. The fourth quarter shows the arms of the département Meurthe et Moselle, as the town is one of the district capitals. | The arms show in the first quarter the arms of [[Longwy]], as the town historically belonged to the district of Longwy.
