Official blazon

Origin/meaning
Gamshurst was part of the Ortenau district and was a separate village, but has always been part of the district of Achern. In the early 19th century it became a separate municipality until 1972.
The oldest known seal of the village dates from the early 19th century and shows a letter H. It is probably an old village sign. The State Archives proposed in 1913 new arms for the municipality, which were more appropriate than a letter H. The arms were adopted by the municipality and show in the right half three balls, the symbol of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of the village. The left part shows a tree as a canting symbol (Hurst comes from Hecke, or hedge).
