Shield barry of five of Gules-Argent-Sable-Argent-Gules.
Meaning:
The village belonged to the Archbishopric of Trier. Castle and village had been enfeoffed to local families of noblemen. Since 1746 they were under direct rule of the archbishops. Dernbach had no proper seals, as charters were sealed by the vassals and commissionaires of the archbishopric, who used their family arms. The village became a part of the Duchy of Nassau finally in 1803 and then also not had any proper seals. The current arms display the family arms of the Lords of Dernbach, first mentioned in 1213. The family sold the castle to the Lords of Grenzau in 1380 and probably died out at the end of the 15th century.
