Shield Argent, issuant from a mount Vert, charged with a barrulet wavy Argent, an ash tree Vert flanked by two fern fronds of the same.
Meaning:
The ash (German: Esche) had been already in local seals since 1832 as a canting element. The first arms, adopted in 1926, nearly displayed the current pattern, having a triplemount issuant in base. The barrulet was symbolising the origin of the Fischbach, a local creek. The triplemount was replaced by an ordinary mount in 1956.
