As in the Beltheim court, the landlordship was shared among the Electorate of Trier, the County of Sponheim and the House of Braunshorn (later Winneburg and Metternich).

Under the Verwaltungsvereinfachungsgesetz (“Administration Simplification Law”) of 18 July 1970, with effect from 7 November 1970, the municipality was grouped into the Verbandsgemeinde of Zell.

Vorn in Silber ein rotes, durchgehendes Kreuz, belegt mit einem silbernen Hifthorn.

The red cross on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the Electorate of Trier and the horn stands for the Imperial lordship of Beilstein.

The silver and red “chequy” pattern on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is from the arms formerly borne by the “Hinder” County of Sponheim.
