Meaning:
The lion is a differentiated version from the arms of the Palatine Electorate. The sinister escutcheon displays the lozengy shield of Bayern. The saint is St. John the Baptist, probably a former patron saint.

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Azure a 6-spokes wheel Argent, at sinister Gules nine lozenges Or ordered 3:3:3, chief Or charged with a bunch of grapes Vert flanked by two wine leaves of the same with stems.
Meaning:
The wheel is taken from the arms of the Counts of Falkenstein, local rulers of the namesake lordship and important manorial lords. The lozenges are taken from an old local court seal, which is probably based on the arms of the Counts of Virneburg. The chief is symbolising viticulture.

Shield parted per fess; above Argent parted by a facetted cross Sable; beneath parted per pale, at dexter Sable three sinister facing lions passant Or in pale, armed and tongued Gules, at sinister lozengy of Argent and Azure.
Meaning:
The arms are based on a local seal from the 18th century. The cross is alluding to the Benedictine Hornbach Abbey, to which the village belonged in the Medieval. The lozenges are reminding on the Palatine Electorate, to which the village belonged between 1512 and 1768. The lions are sometimes considered to display the arms of the Hohenstaufen kin in counterchanged tinctures, which is at least doubtful.

Shield Azure a double quatrefoil Argent, flanked in chief by two 6-point stars of the same.
Meaning:
The arms are based on a local court seal from 1698. The tinctures of the Wittelsbach kin had been chosen, as that family ruled the area as Palatine Counts of Rhine since the end of the 16th century. The meaning of the charges is unknown.
