Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in June 1913.

The oldest seal of Waldulm dates from the early 19^th century and shows more or less the later arms. The upper right field, however, is not clearly seen on all available stamps. Later in the 19^th century the upper right field is shown with a bee, instead of the grape. When the present arms were granted in 1913 it was stated by the major that the arms should contain a grape and not a bee. The upper part symbolises the importance of the viticulture in the area, the lower part is the initial of the village.
