Shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules a mitre Or garnished Argent and a crozier issuant Or in pale crossing the mitre, at sinister Argent two eagles Azure armed and tongued Gules in pale.
Meaning:
Limbach had been a possession of Amorbach Monastery until 1803, became a possession of the Counts of Leiningen in 1803 and finally of the Grand Dukes of Baden in 1806. The first seal from 1811 displayed the arms of the Counts of Leiningen (three eagles). In the current pattern the Leiningen arms have been modified. The crozier is alluding to Amorbach Monastery. The tinctures of the arms were fixed in 1960.

The banner was approved on 6 September 1966 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg. Banner and arms were confirmed on 16 August 1976 and published in GaBl 312/1977.
