Shield quartered, 1st and 4th quarter Argent a cantred cross Sable, 2nd and 3rd quarter Sable a 5-point star Or under two heraldic roses Or of the same.
Meaning:
The charges are referring to the Teutonic Order, displaying its arms in the 1st and 4th quarter and the personal arms of its local commander Philipp Arnold of Ahr (1623-1634). The order owned the village nearly 500 years since the 13th century until the dissolution of the local commandery during the French Revolution in 1792/1793. The personal arms of the commander can also be found in the local chapel, dedicated to St. Marcellus, which was established by himself.

The arms were approved on 20 August 1951 by the Prime Minister of the Saar State and confirmed on 8 January 1975 by Minister of Interior of Saarland.
