Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 11, 1979.

The right half of the arms shows a black female figure, taking from the arms of both Ober- and Unterkirchberg. The image is the oldest arms of the Counts of Kirchberg. The cross is a simplified version of the cross in the arms of Unterkirchberg. The green mountain represents the hills in the area, on which one of the first churches was built. This hill is known as the Kreuzberg (cross-hill).
