In the arms three quarters show the arms of the most prominent of these rulers; the eagles of the Counts of Dahn (red) and the Counts of Leiningen (blue) and the cross of the State of Speyer. The juniper branch is taken from the arms of Sprikelbach. The bordure is a common symbol for a Verbandsgemeinde.
