Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in July 1929.

The arms show the lion and crosier taken from the old arms, combined with the triangle taken from the old arms of Edigheim.

The previous arms were granted on December 24, 1845.

Wappen von Oppau/Arms (crest) of Oppau

The arms are based on the historical seal of the village, dating from the 15th century and used until the late 18th century. The arms show the local patron saint, St. Martin, shown in an unusual way (normally he is shown as a knight, cutting his cloak for a beggar), holding a small shield with the arms of Pfalz-Bayern. The crosses probably refer to the diocese of Worms, to which the local church belonged. The village as such was ruled by the Kings of Bayern (diamonds), counts of the Pfalz (lion).
