Besides the village itself, an oilmill on the Kälberbach is mentioned in 1739, which by 1786 was somewhat inexplicably named "Spießmühle" (“Spear Mill”), but it still stands below the village now and is used as a dwelling. The "Spießmühle" is symbolically represented in the arms by the red half waterwheel in silver. Red and silver are the tinctures of the Electorate of Trier and thus they bear witness to Elbingen’s time in the “Trierschland”. The silver-blue wavy fesses stand for the Elbbach, the Kälberbach and the reservoir built in 1967, part of which covers Elbingen’s municipal area, making a great recreation area on the Elbingen shore.
