Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 15, 1845.
The arms are based on the seal of the village, dating from 1747 and 1762, that showed a crosier. The crosier is the symbol of the Bishop of Speyer, to whom the village belonged from medieval times until 1803. The 18th century seals also showed the letters W and D (Weiden Dal), but these were removed on later seals and not added to the arms.
