Meaning:
The arms are canting, consisting of halberds (German also: Parten) and bricks, representing a stone (German: Stein). The tinctures red and golden are those of the Counts of Rieneck and the Counts of Hanau. Both lived in the village in the past. The tinctures red and silver are those of the Archbishopric of Mainz, which ruled the village until 1803.
