The cross refers to the village’s former allegiance to the Electorate of Trier in the Holy Roman Empire. The waterwheel refers to the Friedrich Neubauer gristmill, known as "Fritze Mühle", which was destroyed in the 1920s. The birchleaf is a canting charge for the municipality’s name, Birkheim ("Birke" is German for birch). The wavy bend sinister and half bend represent local streams, the longer being the Niederbach, which once formed the boundary between the Electorate of Trier and the "Vogtei" of Pfalzfeld, and the shorter the Quänkelbach, which runs through the village and empties into the Niederbach.
