Shield Argent a heraldic rose Gules seeded Or and barbed Vert with chief embattled Gules.
Meaning:
The arms are a combination of the arms of two families, the rose of the Miehlen kin and the chief of theLiebenstein kin, who also named themselves Miehlen, but who were not related to the former family. The rose is also alluding to the name Rosa domus Nassoica (rose of the House of Nassau), as the village was named in a document from 1644.
The oldest local seal from 1563 displays in a quartered shield the lion of the Duchy of Nassau on 1st and 4th quarter, and the lion of Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken on 2nd and 3rd quarter, as Miehlen belonged to Nassau since the 14th century.
