 This heraldic composition is drawn from old court seals.The charge in base is meant to be the Sprengelburg, a now ruined castle that was built about 1300 and once held sway throughout the "Eßweiler Tal".The arms have been borne since 1983 when they were approved by the now defunct Rheinhessen-Pfalz "Regierungsbezirk" administration in Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
