Shield parted by a barrulet Argent, at dexter Gules a 6-spokes wheel Argent, at sinister Azure semy of crosslets Argent a lion rampant Or, crowned, armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The dexter half displays the arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz, the sinister half the lion of the Palatine Counts of Rhine on the background of the arms of the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken.

Since 1733 the archbishops ownwd 75% and the counts 25%. Former seals since the 16th century displayed St. Maximin, accompanoed by a bear, as the village before belonged to the Benedictine St. Maximin Imperial Abbey for centuries.
