The arms date back to the French occupation. At the time the two villages of Nieder- and [[Oberissigheim]] were separated. The village of Niederissigheim was situated in rather marshy lands, whereas the village of Oberissigheim was on dry grounds. Both villages adopted arms with the French fleur-de-lis and a letter. For Niederissigheim this was the N for 'noyer' (French for flooded), for Oberissigheim this was the S for 'sèche' (French for dry). | The arms date back to the French occupation.
