Official blazon

(de) In Silber auf steigendem abgeflachtem grünem Berg hinter einem natürlich braunen Palisadenzaun ein blau bedachter gemauerter roter römischer Wachttum mit hölzern-braunem Umgang, oben bewinkelt von je einer aufsteigenden schwarzen Krähe.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 28, 1956.

The name Kreimbach is derived from Krähenbach (stream of crows), hence the two crows in the chief. The watchtower refers to the former Roman castle that once stood in the village, known as the Heidenburg.
