The rural residential community lies roughly 4 km north of Kirchberg.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale chequy of fifteen gules and argent and Or trellised sable surmounted by a hammer and a pick per saltire of the same, on a chief of the fourth a lion passant of the third armed and langued of the first.

The lion in the chief refers to the former landholders, the Counts Palatine of the Rhine and the Dukes of Simmern.

The “chequy” pattern on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the “Hinder” County of Sponheim, which had in Reckershausen many peasant subjects and 19 “farmyards”.
