In geteiltem Schild oben in Rot ein silberbewehrter und -bezungter silberner Adler, unten von Blau, darin ein schwebendes gleichschenkliges silbernes Kreuz, und Gold geteilt.
Origin/meaning :
The old (left) arms were granted on May 28, 1949, the new arms were granted on November 13, 1964.
The old arms show a statue from the church in the village as well as the letter H. These arms had no historical significance and were designed in 1949.
The new arms were designed in 1964 and combine elements from the arms of the former rulers in the area. The upper half shows the silver eagle in red from the Counts of Dahn. The lower half shows the divided shield of the Schenken von Waldenburg family, where the label is exchanged by a the cross of the State of Speyer. The family ruled the area as vassals of the bishops of Speyer.
Literature : Debus, 1988
