 The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is the Palatine Lion, a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Dukes of the Palatinate.The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is supposed to be a linchpin, such as might be found on the hub of an old spoked wheel.This is apparently canting for the village's name, for “linchpin” is "Lunen" in the local speech, or archaically, "Lonse" (although it is "Achsnagel" in standard Modern High German).
