Shield Gules parted by a cross Or, the 2nd quarter displays a sinister facing swan issuant Argent.
Meaning:
Willstätt had been a fortified village since 1254. It became a possession of the Counts of Lichtenberg in 1288, and later of their heirs, the Counts of Hanau. It was seat of a district until the 18th century. The arms are based on a local seal from 1444. The damascene from the seals was kept. The swan is taken from the crest of the arms of the Counts of Lichtenberg.
