German | Geteilt und unten von Silber und Rot gespalten; oben ein wachsender golden gekrönter, golden bewehrter, mehrfach von Silber und Rot geteilter Löwe, der mit der rechten Pranke ein silbernes Schwert schwingt; unten vorne ein rotes Nagelspitzkreuz; hinten ein sechsspeichiges silbernes Rad. |

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1913.
The lion in the upper half is the lion of Hessen, the cross is the symbol of the Lorsch Abbey and the wheel is the symbol of the State of Mainz. Heppenheim was a possession of the Lorsch Abbey until 1232, when it became a possession of the Archbishops of Mainz. Since 1803 the city belongs to Hessen.
An interesting proposal was made in 1867, showing the Abbot of Lorsch as city arms. This was based on the oldest 15th century seal of the city.
