 The stylized flower on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side stands for the quarryman's (according to the municipality's website) or stonemason's (according to regionalgeschichte.net) trade, once common in the "Ortsteil" of Wiesweiler.The black cross on the silver lozenge (diamond shape) on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side represents the foundation of a churchtower built upon an ancient Roman place of worship in the "Ortsteil" of Berschweiler.The arms have been borne since 1964, when they were approved by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of the Interior.
