Between 1698 and 1701, the local chapel, consecrated to Saint Joseph, was built by the Abbot of Himmerod, Robert Bootz.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per saltire in chief argent a saw fesswise sable, dexter vert two roses in pale Or, sinister two annulets in pale, the upper surmounting the lower, of the first, and in base argent an urn of the third.

The roses are meant to refer to the Rosenthal Convent, which once had a great deal of holdings in the village.

The urn is an actual artefact from the 8th or 9th century that was unearthed in 1959 in the traditional cadastral area known as Steinreich.
