Origin/meaning

The arms are not officially granted. Since 1950 the village uses the arms on its seal.

The origin of the arms, three tulips rising from a heart, is not known. The old historical seal, dating from 1583, of the united villages of Mimbach and Webenheim showed already the same composition. However, in 1783 only the letter W was mentioned as the arms of Webenheim.


Literature : Debus, 1988
