Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 11, 1984.
The lower half of the arms is canting, and symbolises the name of the village. The green field and the pine tree symbolise the forests (Wald), whereas the reed and the wavy bend symbolise the rivers (Bach=stream, brook). The silver cross in blue is taken from the arms of the diocese and State of Speyer, as the village historically was ruled by the Bishops of Speyer. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of St. Mary and of the Amt Marienburg, the district of the State of Speyer in which the village was situated.
The bend, fleur-de-lis and cross already appeared on old borderstones, with additional symbols, such as a crosier and an undefined hook-like object.
Literature: Debus, 1988
