Lämmerspiel Arms

The shield is Gules parted by a bend sinister wavy Argent, charged with three crosslets Sable with bordures Or. In dexter chief a is a wheel Argent, in sinister base a watermill's wheel Or.
Meaning:
The bend wavy is symbolizing the two rivers that run through the village. The water mill wheel in base is symbolizing the fact that the water mills are the oldest in the area and they were of great local importance. The wheel in chief is the wheel of Mainz, as the area belonged to the Archbishopric of Mainz from 1425 until 1802. The three crosslets in the bend are taken from the arms of the Teutonic Order (Deutscher Orden), which ruled parts of the current municipality for many centuries. The arms were officially approved in 1962.
