Shield Azure, a pair of keys Or in saltire is superimposing a sword Argent in pale, all impending over a triplemount Or issuant from base.
Meaning:
A local seal from 1930 displayed the local parish church. The triplemount in the current arms is symbolising the location of the church on a hill. The keys are the attributes of St. Peter and the sword is the attribute of St. Paul. Both saints are patrons of Weißenau Abbey and the municipal arms are based on the arms of the abbey. The village belonged to the abbey since the 13th century, the parish church had been incorporated into the abbey in 1473.
