Shield Or, a horseshoe Sable surrounding a 6-point star Gules, in chief a string Sable with tassels.
Meaning:
The old arms simply displayed a black horseshoe on a golden shield. They were based on a local court seal from 1701. Star and string were added in 1964. The village was owned by the Lords of Fleckenstein, who ceded it to the Augustine Hödt Provostry. The string is representing the provostry. The star is alluding to the fact that the village had been seat of a court of justice in the Medieval.
