Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 11, 1978.

The fleur-de-lis in the upper half is the symbol of St. Anthony, the local patron saint. The wheel symbolizes the Mühlhausen part of the municipality. The colours are those of the Duchy Pfalz-Zweibrücken, to which the village historically belonged.

Literature : Debus, 1988
