Shield parted per pale; at dexter Sable a sinister facing lion rampant Or, armed and tongued Gules; at sinister parted by a fess wavy Azure, above Argent parted by a cross patty Sable, beneath Or a woodpecker Sable on a branch of the same.
Meaning:
In 1939 municipality received the arms of Ramstein with an additional initial "H" on the ashlar as a distinguishing mark. The arms were changed after the incorporation of Katzenbach and Spesbach in 1969. The cross representing the former, the woodpecker the latter. The fess wavy is a representation of both name giving creeks (German: Bäche). The lion is a differentiation of that one of the Palatine Electorate, to which the three former municipalities historically belonged. Lion and a wavy blue line had also been part of the arms of both incorporated municipalities. The black cross is alluding to the fact that the three villages had to pay the tithe to the Einsiedel Commandery of the Teutonic Order. The woodpecker (German: Specht) is a punning element.

Shield Sable a lion rampant Or, armed and tongued Gules, holding an ashlar Argent by his forepaws.
Meaning:
The village was first mentioned in 1215 and became a possession of the Palatine Electorate in the 14th century. The first local court seal from 1674 only displayed the canting ashlar, which had been part of the family arms of the Lords of Ramstein since 1376. A court seal from 1774 displayed the Palatine lion and the ashlar in a shield crested by a leafy coronet. The tinctures were introduced in 1929 by Otto Hupp. In 1939 also Hütschenhausen Municipality had the same arms with an initial "H" on the ashlar as a distinguishing mark.
