Wappen von Gau-Bickelheim
Official blazon
German

Origin/meaning

The arms show in the upper half three pock-axes, a canting symbol (Pickel-hacken in German), probably derived from the arms of the Lords of Bickelheim. The three exes already appeared on the oldest known seal of the village, known since 1508. A later, 17th century, seal shows the same image. A seal from the late 18th century shows the above arms, with in the base the wheel of the State of Mainz.

Based on the oldest seals the arms below were proposed in 1956 in the colours of Mainz, but without the wheel:
