Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1949.
The village was mentioned first in 1272 and belonged to the monastery of Hornbach. During the Protestant Reformation the monastery was dissolved by the Counts Palatinate/Prince Electorate of the Palatinate (Kurfürst und Pfalzgraf). The arms are derived from old seals for Heltersberg and Waldfischbach, known since 1684, combining the lion of the Pfalz (Heltersberg belonged to the County Electorale Palatinate (Kurpfalz) until 1791) with a fish (very common in the creeks of the region) the symbol for the two villages. In order to distinguish the arms of both villages in previous times on the arms of Heltersberg the lion touches the fish.
Today only Heltersberg uses the arms in that form, as Waldfischbach merged with Burgalben in 1969.
Literature: Debus, 1988
