The arms of Rudolfsheim combine the symbols of the seals of the three former parishes, as well as a letter R. '''Rustendorf''' is symbolised by a silver half moon in blue. The name derives from the Middle German word "Rust" for elm tree and refers to the elm woods in the area. A vineyard "unter den Rusten" ("under the elms") is documented in 1700. | The arms of Rudolfsheim combine the symbols of the seals of the three former parishes, as well as a letter R.
