Shield quartered, 1st quarter Azure semy of crosslets fitchy Argent, a lion rampant double queued Argent, crowned Or, armed and tongued Gules; 2nd quarter Argent hammer and mallet Sable in saltire; 3rd quarter Argent a bend wavy Azure; 4th quarter Azure a 7-spokes wheel Argent.
Meaning:
The 1st quarter displays the arms of the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken, to which the area belonged for many centuries. The miner's tools are symbolising the importance of mining in the past. The bend wavy is representing the Köllerbach River that flows through the municipality. The wheel is symbolising industries. The number of spokes had been changed from six in the former arms to seven, now representing the seven former municipalities.

The arms were approved on 6 November 1975.
