On the Heyerberg near the village once stood a castle with a chapel and also an estate. Their owner was St. Maximin’s Abbey in Trier, but the Abbey had enfeoffed the Knights of Heyer with them. History mentioned them with Wilhelm, Burgmann of Daun in 1359. The Knights’ arms showed the five rings, or annulets, in the quincunx pattern, and in Borler’s arms, they appear in Electoral-Trier tinctures beneath the line of partition. Set into the chapel above the portal is a Rococo cartouche bearing St. Maximin’s arms. These show the two-headed (“bicapitate”) eagle above and a chalice below, along with three stars. The arms come from the former estate building, now no longer standing, and the eagle now appears in Borler’s arms above the line of partition.Description and explanation of Borler’s arms
