Shield parted per bend sinister; above right Argent parted by a cross Gules, on its centre charged with a horn Argent; beneath left Sable a lion issuant rampant Or, crowned, armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The upper half displays the arms of the Archbishopric of Trier, represented by the red cross. The horn is a differentiation of the family arms of the Lords of Braunshorn, who ruled the nanmesake lordship including Beilstein. The lion is a differentiation of the arms of the Palatine Counts of Aachen, who ruled the area from 866 until 1150.
