Shield parted per saltire; above Sable a lion rampant Or armed and tongued Gules; beneath Gules two barrulets wavy Argent; the other quarters Or a linden leaf Gules.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the old arms of Gras-Ellenbach (see below), in which the lion of Hesse was replaced by the lion of the Palatinate, which was taken from the arms of former Hammelbach municipality. The colours of the base were changed from blue to red. The other three former municipalities didn't have any proper arms.
The arms were approved on 10 September 1974.

Shield parted per saltire; above Azure a lion's head barry of six of Argent and Gules; beneath Azure two barrulets wavy Argent; the other quarters Or a linden leaf Gules.
Meaning:
The lion is taken from the arms of Hessen. The lower quarter displays local creeks and is a canting element (Bach = creek). The linden leaves are a symbol for the Nibelungensaga, hero Siegfried, having taken a bath in the blood of the dragon, he had killed before, had been made vulnerable by a linden leaf, which kept away the dragon's blood from his neck.
The arms were approved on 9 August 1966.
