Shield parted per pale, at dexter Azure, a throughout faceted demi cross Argent, couped per pale, at sinister Or a sinister 8-spokes bladed demi-wheel Sable, also couped per pale.
Meaning:
Oberhausen and Rheinhausen had been one municipality, named Oberhausen, until 1810. They belonged to the Bishopric of Speyer until 1802. The charges of the common arms were taken from a court seal from the 18th century. It displayed twice in a quartered shield a cross, representing St. Philipp, patron saint of the Oberhausen church; and a wheel, representing St. Catherine, patron saint of the Rheinhausen church. The cross is also stressing that the municipality belonged to the Bishopric of Speyer. Rheinhausen had been separated from Oberhausen in 1810, got its own parish church, dedicated to St. Lawrence, in 1877, but the parochial separation happened in 1905. It was again incorporated into Oberhausen in 1975.

The arms had been adopted by Oberhausen in 1900, and were re-adopted by Oberhausen-Rheinhausen in 1975. The banner was used by Oberhausen since 1935.
