Meaning:
Two of seven parts were owned by the Barons of Siersberg and Dillingen, they became a dominion of the Braubach kin by inheritance in 1548, a dominion of Lothringen in 1613 and with Lothringen a part of France in 1768. By an exchange of territories they became parts of Pfalz-Zweibrücken in 1768, represented by the arms of the Barons of Siersberg in the 1st quarter. One of seven parts belonged to Fraulautern Abbey until the French revolution. As the abbey had no proper arms, the crozier of an abbess was chosen. Another two of seven parts belonged to the Archbishopric of Trier, represented by the 3rd quarter. Finally the last two of seven parts belonged to the Barons of Hagen zur Motten, represented by the 4th quarter.
