Alsheim Coat of Arms

Shield Gules two croziers Or with scarves Argent in saltire.
Meaning:
The oldest seal of Alsheim dates from around 1501 and already displays the current pattern. The 2nd seal from the late 17th century diplays the same composition as well, but with an additional letter "A". The meaning of the croziers is not quite clear. It may be representing the fact that the two churches in Alsheim were owned by the Bishopric of Worms and the Archbishopric of Mainz. Another explanation is that the croziers are attributes of St. Boniface, patron saint of the oldest local church. The former arms basically displayed the same pattern but on a blue shield with golden croziers and scarves, which had been the tinctures of Nassau.

Gimbsheim Coat of Arms

Shield Gules a fess wavy Argent charged with a wolf trap Sable, chief Sable a bunch of grapes Or flanked by two wine leaves and two grain ears of the same.
Meaning:
The oldest local seal from 1402 displayed St. Maurice as a knight with lance, pennant and a shield charged with a cross. A proposal of the arms displayed the head of the saint on a golden nimbus on dexter chief point of a silver shield parted by a red cross. On the chosen pattern the chief is representing viticulture and agriculture. The wolf trap appeared on local arms since the 18th century and is representing hunting, fishery and shipping on the Rhine.
