Official blazon
In Rot drei schräggestellte, 2:1 angeordnete silberne Hämmer.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1946.
The arms show three canting hammers, which were derived from the arms of the Counts of Hammerstein, to whom the village belonged in medieval times. The colours are those of the State of Trier, as the village was part of Trier.
