Kasbach-Ohlenberg Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess; above Argent, parted by a pallet wavy Argent superimposing four hexagonal columns issuant Azure, at dexter parted by a centred cross Sable, at sinister by a centred cross Gules; beneath Azure a grapevine Or at dexter and a grain ear of the same at sinister.
Meaning:
The old arms simply displayed the two crosses separated by a blue pallet wavy. The black cross displays the arms of the Archbishopric of Köln, the red cross those of the Archbishopric of Trier. The pallet wavy is a representation of the name giving Kasbach, a creek, which had also been the border between both archbishoprics. The symbols of the most important business lines were added later. The columns are symbolsing the depletion of basalt between the two settlement cores. The charges in base are symbolising viticulture and agriculture.
