Shield Sable a key Argent in bend, in dexter base a saltire Or.
Meaning:
The arms are based on a local seal from 1758. The key is an attribute of St. Peter, patron saint of the Bishopric of Worms and also of the local Catholic church. The saltire probably here is not alluding to St. Andrew but simply a distinguishing mark, as the municipal arms without it would be those of the bishopric.
