Shield parted per fess wavy; above Sable a demi-lion rampant issuant Or armed and tongued Gules; beneath parted per pale, at dexter Argent three bars wavy Azure, at sinister Argent a compass rose of Sable and Or with north point of the same, orle parted per fess of Argent and Azure.
Meaning:
The upper half is a differentiation of the arms of the Palatine Counts of Rhine, to which the region historically belonged. The bars wavy are representations of the rivers Alsenz, Moschel and Appel. The north point of the compass rose is a canting element. The associated municipality was established on 1 January 2020 by a merger of the former associated municipalities of Alsenz-Obermoschel and Rockenhausen. The flag colours are those of Bayern, to which the area historically belonged. The orle is symbolising the status of an associated municipality.

Shield parted by a fess wavy Azure, above Argent a scallop Azure at dexter and a lion rampant Azure armed and tongued Gules at sinister, beneath Or a sinister facing lion rampant Gules armed and tongued Azure at dexter and the western façade of a church Gules with two towers at sinister, orle Azure.
Meaning:
The arms combine elements of several of the arms of the individual municipalities. The scallop is for example part of the municipal arms of Obermoschel. The blue lion is taken from the arms of the Counts of Veldenz, the red one from those of the Waldgraves, who later called themselves Counts of Salm. Both had been former rulers in the area. The church is symbolising the many possessions of the Benedictine St. Maximin Imperial Abbey in Trier, administrated by its smaller priory in Münsterappel. The blue wavy bar is a representation of the rivers Appel and Alsenz. The orle is symbolising the status of an associated municipality.

Meaning:

Shield parted per fess; above parted per pale, at dexter Argent a sinister facing lion rampant Azure, armed and tongued Gules; at sinister Azure a lion rampant Or, armed and tongued Gules; beneath Vert a fess wavy Argent.
Meaning:
In the 14th century the Counts of Veldenz and the Counts of Zweibrücken held the local cognisance. A court seal from 1570 displayed the Palatine lion above right and the lozenges above left, taken from the arms of the Wittelsbach kin. A proposal, made by Otto Hupp in 1928 and used unofficially was based on that seal. An older seal displayed the complete arms of the Zweibrücken kin. In 1755 the Princes of Nassau gained complete control in the village. Seals from that time displayed the lion of Nassau and the canting fess wavy. In the current design to the canting fess wavy two lions were added, the blue one of Veldenz and the yellow one of Nassau.
