The municipality lies in the south of the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known for its volcanic history, geographical and geological features, and even ongoing activity today, including gases that sometimes well up from the earth.

The tithes were shared among the Cathedral Provost of Trier, the Abbey of Echternach and Count Waldbott von Bassenheim.

[1] The German blazon reads: Schild geteilt, oben in Rot eine silberne Waage mit einem silbernen Palmwedel belegt.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess gules balances surmounted by a palm frond palewise argent, and Or an eagle bicapitate displayed sable armed and langued of the first.

The two-headed eagle below the line of partition refers to Strotzbüsch's former obligation to pay one third of its tithes to the Abbey of Echternach.
