Shield parted by a centred cross Argent, 1st quarter Azure a fleur-de-lis Argent, 2nd quarter Gules a horseshoe Argent, 3rd quarter Gules a vinegrower´s knife Argent in pale hafted Or, 4th quarter Azure a grapevine Or, orle of 16 alternating segments of Azure and Argent.
Meaning:
The orle in the area is symbolising that the arms belong to an associated municipality. In this case each of the 16 segments is representing one of its 16 municipalities. The tinctures red, silver and blue had been those of the Weingarten kin, former local rulers of Freimersheim and Kleinfischlingen. Knife and grapevine are symbolising viticulture as important business line, the horseshoe is a local symbol of at least three of the 16 municipalities. The fleur-de-lis is a modification of the arms of Burrweiler.

Shield Gules an impending initial "E" Or surrounded by an impending initial "O" of the same with four spikes; mantled, at dexter Sable a sinister facing lion rampant Or, crowned, armed and tongued Gules; at sinister lozengy of Argent and Azure.
Meaning:
The oldest common court seal of the Palatine Electorate and the Cistercian Heilsbruck Nunnery from 1543 displayed lion and lozenges, furthermore an abess and an initial "H" with crozier. Since 1560 the current pattern is known. Lion and lozenges are alluding to the Wittelsbach kin. The initials are referring to the former name Oedigkoben. Until 1905 the "O" partially was misinterpreted to be a lozenge.

Meaning:
