The council is made up of 6 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.[3]
The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per fess argent issuant from the line of partition a demilion azure armed and langued gules, and azure two ears of wheat couped per saltire surmounted by a bell Or.
The charge in the upper part of the escutcheon, the lion, is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the County of Veldenz.
