Eppelborn Municipal Coat of Arms

Shield parted by a bend Argent, above left Gules an eaglet Argent, beneath right Azure a wolf trap Argent in pale.
Meaning:
The eaglet of Lorraine (German: Lothringen) is alluding to the fact that most parts of the municipality historically belonged to Lothringen. The bar is taken from the former arms of Eppelborn, the wolf trap is representing the village of Dirmingen and was used as a as a local symbol. Dirmingen had been the only village, which was not a part of Lothringen.
