A church was first mentioned in 1299. The portal's sandstone walls and a Gothic window go back to the 14th century.

The Catholic church was built in 1931 and 1932. Until that time, the Evangelical church was shared by both denominations.

This was a new coat of arms adopted in 1958. The old coat of arms showed the composition Sable five roundels argent (presumably two, one and two, that is, in a quincunx arrangement). This was the arms formerly borne by the Counts of Sickingen. A court seal showing this arrangement is known from 1610, as is a seal impression from 1725.
