Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on ??

The upper part represents the village of Münster and shows a monastery. The name Münster is derived from the Latin Monasterium, or monastery. The composition of building and crosier also appeared on the old village seals. The colours are those of the Pfalz to which the village historically belonged. The lower half is derived from the seal of the village of Sarmsheim, which showed two arrows and a rose. The rose, however, was replaced by a bunch of grapes as a symbol for the vitiulture. The colours are those of the State of Mainz to which the village historically belonged.
