Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 17, 1982.

The arms show the village's connection to water as it used to have three important water mills. Therefore the blue background and the golden mill wheel. The silver bend represents the Moosalb creek on which Steinalben lies. The top right part refers to the former sovereigns of the village, the Counts of the Palatinate (Pfalzgraf).

Literature: Debus, 1988
