The arms were granted in 1961 and show in the chief the arms of the Wittelsbach family, Princes of the Pfalz, as Bürstadt belonged to the Pfalz from 1461-1623. The lower part shows in the colours of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] (to which the city belonged after 1623), a cross as a symbol for the Imperial Abbey in Lorsch, which played a major role in the history of the city. | The arms were granted in 1961 and show in the chief the arms of the Wittelsbach family, Princes of the Pfalz, as Bürstadt belonged to the Pfalz from 1461-1623.

The arms are not based on the old seals of the city. The oldest seal dates from the early 17<sup>th</sup> century and shows a quartered shield with in the first and fourth quarter the diamonds of Wittelsbach, and in the second and third a beaker. The latter is maybe used as a canting symbol (from the old name of Birstadt). In the late 17<sup>th</sup> century the seals showed in the first and fourth quarter the wheel of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] and in the second and third a village sign, which is hard to describe, with the beaker in an escutcheon. | The arms are not based on the old seals of the city.
