Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1960 and again on August 16, 1976.
The arms were designed by the State Archives of Baden in 1909, but it took until 1960 before the arms were finally adopted by the municipality. The crosier and mitre are the symbols of the Amorbach Abbey, as the village historically was owned by the Abbey. Until 1803 the village was part of the Amorbach district of the State of Mainz, the red and silver are the colours of Mainz.
From 1803-1806 the area was part of the Principality of Leiningen, in 1806 it became part of Baden. The two eagles are deived from the arms of the Counts (later Princes) of Leiningen, the red and gold are the colours of Baden.
