Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 13, 2004.

The linden branches are a canting element. The wavy bend symbolises the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal which runs through the municipality.

Initially the villagers of Weißenspring wanted to be represented in the arms with a small wheel. This was not rewarded and thus not incorporated in the arms.
