Shield Argent with base wavy Vert charged with a fess wavy Argent, on base three deciduous trees Vert in fess, the central one on top of a hill, on either side of the chief a 6-point star Or.
Meaning:
The name of the village had been Altenbaumburg, which had been the ancestral seat of the Raugraves, later Counts of Salm. It was first mentioned in 1130 and gained city rights in 1320. After 1358 the city belonged to the Palatine Electorate. The status of a city was lost probably in the 16th century, as local seals did no longer mention it. The arms are canting, alluding to the original name. The fess wavy is a representation of the Alsenz River.
