Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 7, 1992.
The cross is the symbol of the State of Trier, to which the village belonged for many centuries. The crosier is the symbol for Nikolaus Bares, born in the village, who was Bishop of Hildesheim and Berlin from 1929-1935.
The three balls are the symbol for St. Nicholas, the patron saint of the village.
The two rings are derived from the arms of the Himmerod abbey, which had many possessions in the area.
