Shield Azure with a cross of St. Peter Argent with an annexed hook on dexter chief.
Meaning:
The charge was first mentioned as a local symbol in a charter from 1715. It was also used on local court seals, known by prints since 1760, in a rococo cartouche. Knowledge about the existence was lost in 1839, but the symbol was still used on border stones. In 1845 King Ludwig I of Bayern granted a seal and probably also arms with a golden symbol on a black shield, i.e. in Palatine tinctures. The tinctures were changed to blue and silver as tinctures of the Bishopric of Speyer, to which the village historically belonged, in 1962. It is assumed that the municipal arms had been a differentiation of those of bishopric, which displayed a silver cross on a blue shield.

Shield parted per fess; above Sable, two demi-lions issuant repectant Or, armed and tongued Gules and suppoting a millstone Argent with three millrinds Sable; beneath parted per fess of Argent and Azure, charged with a fleur-de-lis in counterchanged tinctures.
Meaning:
Local court seals since the 17th century displayed the two Palatine lions alone. That pattern was granted as coat of arms in 1845 by King Ludwig I of Bayern. The lower half was added later, in order to stress that the municipality historically belonged to the Bishopric of Speyer. Its tinctures are blue and white and the fleur-de-lis probably is an attribute of its patron saint St. Mary.
