From 1794, Binsfeld lay under French rule, and in 1815 was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna.

[3] The German blazon reads: In Silber und Rot geteiltem Schild oben ein rotes Balkenkreuz, unten ein sechsspeichiges goldenes Rad.

The golden wheel stands for both agriculture and the huckster's trade that was formerly widespread in Binsfeld.

This was once paramount to the local commercial structure, as farming still is today.

Peter Binsfeld (b. about 1545; d. 24 November 1598) was an auxiliary bishop in Trier and witch theoretician.
