Shield Azure, a bend Or, in sinister chief a canton Argent, over all in centre an inescutcheon Argent, charged with an intial Sable "B".
Meaning:
The first court seal from 1820 displayed a bend in chief and a lion in base. The current arms are based on the family arms of the Lords of Windeck, local rulers until 1592. The inescutcheon with initial was added as a distinguishing mark.
