Coat of arms


Horbach's location in the so-called Buchfinkenländchen is symbolized by the common chaffinch in the community's arms. The wavy bend stands for one of the headwater streams that builds the Daubach, which rises in Horbach. The heraldic lily refers to the name's meaning (horo = swamp), recalling as it does a kind of lily that grows in wetlands. The tinctures red and silver were the heraldic colours borne by the Electorate of Trier.
