Official blazon
Geteilt, oben in schwarzem, mit goldenem Kreuzchen besätem Feld ein mit abwärts gekehrtem Bart schrägrechts liegender silberner Schlüssel, unten in Blau rechts ein sechsstrahliger goldener Stern, links ein zunehmender goldener Halbmond.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 4, 1924.
The oldest seal of the town dates from 1538 and showed a quartered field with th elion of the Pfalz, the key of Worms, a star and a crescent. The origin or meaning of the latter two is not clear; they may be of religious origin or can indicate the local court of justice. Laumersheim belonged to the Amt Dirmstein, which was jointly ruled by the Counts of the Pfalz and the Abbey (Hochstift) of Worms.
Later the area became fully owned by the abbey and the arms were simplified to the present form on the new seal. An image of this seal is known from 1753.
