Shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules a crozier with scarf and a mattock both Argent in saltire, at sinister Argent a coronet Azure connected at its top with a cross trefly of the same, base in counterchanged tinctures at dexter charged with a fleur-de-lis Azure and at sinister with a winegrower´s knife Argent.
Meaning:
The village developed around the royal estate of Kronkreuz, represented by the canting coronet with cross. In 1299 the estate became a possession of the cathedral of St. Martin in Mainz, which us symbolised by the colours of the Archbishopric of Mainz, silver and red, also by the crozier of the archbishops. The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of St. Mary, patron saint of the Augustine Flonheim Monastery, which also owned estates in the village. Mattock and knife are symbolising the importance of agriculture and viticulture.

Shield Gules three waxing crescents Argent ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The municipality was established on 7 June 1969 by a merger of Nieder Saulheim and Ober Saulheim. The arms are based on local court seals from 1570 and 1620. They were also depicted on a stone with an additional inscription "1571" in counterchanged tinctures. The stone was part of the tower of the destroyed church of St. Bartholomew and was moved to the town hall of Nieder Saulheim in 1855 . The crescents had been the arms of the Knights of Hund, whose family was divided into several branches, and thus the tinctures of the arms had been different. Their ancestral seat had been the Saulgau Estate.

Shield parted per fess, above Azure semy of billets Or a fiddle Or at dexter and a lion rampant of the same crowned armed and tongued Gules at sinister, beneath Argent a sinister facing dog salient Gules at dexter and three horns of the same in pale at sinister.
Meaning:
The oldest known local seal from 1492 was in use until 1786. It displayed the local patron saint St. Stephen as supporter behind three shields. One shield with a lion displayed the arms of the Counts of Nassau, to which the area belonged at the time. Other sources say that the lion is taken from the arms of the Lords of Löwenstein, who held the right of patronage of the local parish church. The 2nd shield displayed the fiddle, which appeared on the arms of Cistercian Alzey Nunnery, which acted as vassal of the counts. It furthermore appeared on the city arms of Alzey and on the family arms of the Wilch kin, based in the city. The horns on the 3rd shield are taken from the arms of the Lords of Horneck. The origin of the dog is unknown. The current arms omitted the saint and combined the patterns of the three shields.
