Shield Gules with base wavy of Argent and Azure, issuant from base a watermill's wheel Argent, in chief a Greek cross fitchy Argent.
Meaning:
The base probably is representing the Grundelbach, a local creek, and its mills in the past. The cross is a modification of the arms of Lorsch Abbey.
The arms were approved by Trösel municipality and afterwards overtaken by Gorxheimertal.
