Shield divided by a bend wavy Or, above right Sable two swords Argent in saltire, beneath left Vert two mattocks Argent in saltire.
Meaning:
The arms are canting. The name is derived from Kempfenrod. Kempfen, or Kämpfen, meaning "fighting", which is symbolised by the crossed swords in chief. The suffix "-rod" means forest clearance, which is symbolised by the mattocks in base. The bend wavy is representing Seemenbach, a local creek.
The arms were approved on 10 May 1968.
