Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 21, 1956.
The arms reflect the fact that Arzheim belonged to the Madenburg Amt of the diocese and State of Speyer until 1680, and as a separate Amt from 1680-1793. The silver cross in blue is taken from the arms of Speyer, the lilies are the symbol of St. Mary and, together with the wall in the base, represent Madenburg (From Magden-burg or Marien-burg, castle of Mary).
Before 1956 the village used quite different unofficial arms, see below:
