In geteiltem und oben gespaltenem Schild vorne in Silber eine blaue Traube mit zwei grünen Blättern, hinten in Rot ein aus der Spaltung herausragender golden gekleideter Arm, der ein silbernes Winzermesser hält, unten in Gold der schwarze Großbuchstabe W.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in June 1913.
The oldest seal of Waldulm dates from the early 19th 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 19th 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.
