Shield parted by a bend sinister Or, above right Azure three crosses treffly fitchy Argent ordered 2:1, beneath left Sable a 6-spokes pulley wheel Or.
Meaning:
The bend sinister is representing the name giving ridge between the Saar River and the Köllertal dip. The black colour and the pulley wheel are referring to mining as important business line in the past. The three crosses are representing Walpershofen, its three churches and the good cohabitation of three Christian denominations for ages.
