Meaning:
The torteaux are taken from the arms of the Kolb of Wartenberg family, local ruler of Mehlingen and Sembach. The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of St. Mary and appeared on seals of the Premonstratensian Enkenbach Nunnery since 1493. It may also refer to the Randeck family, who owned several estates in the area.

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Azure a well Or with a sinister facing lion issuant of the same at its top, at sinister Or a church Gules with roofs Azure.
Meaning:
The arms are basically the former arms of Enkenbach, approved in 1952. But the dexter half alone had also been the former arms of Alsenborn. It appeared first on a court seal of Alsenborn from the 16th century. Enkenbach belonged to its court district. The pattern was approved as municipal arms in 1927 by Minister of Interior of Bayern. As a distinguishing mark the local church was added to the arms of Enkenbach. The lion on the well is the Palatine lion.

Shield Argent a crozier Or in pale, superimposed by a fess wavy Gules charged with a fish Argent, over all flanked by three torteaux, two in chief ordered per pale and one in base superimposing the crozier.
Meaning:
Fess wavy and fish are canting. The crozier is alluding to the chapel and a small settlement erected in 1471 by the Augustine Convent of Lippe in Westfalen. The settlement had been the origin of the village. The convent was abolished in 1564. The torteaux (red discs) and the fess wavy are a differentiation of the family arms of the Counts Kolb of Wartenberg, to whom the village belonged in the 18th century. They built a small hunting lodge in the area in 1777, which was destroyed in the 1790s. Their arms displayed the torteaux flanking a red fess charged with a golden hunting horn.

Shield Gules on top of a triplemount issuant Vert a castle Argent, mantled Azure, at dexter parted by a fess Or, at sinister three lozenges Argent ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The arms were designed by Otto Hupp in 1926. He based the design on the two known old seals of the village, dating from 1743 and the 18th century. The first shows the local castle (ruins) and 3 square stones. The second shows a castle (not like a ruin) and three lozengy stones. The castle is the local castle, the stones are probably derived from the arms of the Lords von Waldbrunn, who partially owned the village in the 18th century. In the oldest seal the stones, however, were not shown as on the Waldbrunn arms. It is also doubtful whether the family already owned parts of the village, when the seal was made. The stones could also be interpreted as a canting element for the "stein" in the name. In any case the castle and the lozengy stones from the 2nd seal and the arms of the Lords of Waldbrunn were combined with the arms of the founders of the castle, the Lords of Frankenstein, who died out in 1360.

Shield parted per fess, above Azure an eagle Argent armed and tongued Gules, beneath Gules a Greek cross Argent charged with an initial "H" Gules.
Meaning:
The oldest (and only) seal of the village from 1743, and already displayed a shield with a cross, and above the shield an initial "H". The eagle is taken from the Counts of Leiningen-Dagsburg, to which the village historically belonged. They also used the cross, originally taken from the Aspremont Estate, as an inescutcheon on their arms since 1466. The cross, with or without initial, was also used on border stones in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Shield Argent on top of a mount issuant Vert a deciduous tree of the same, superimposed by an impending axe Gules in bend sinister; mantled Azure on either side charged with an eagle Argent armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The lower half of the arms is canting, displaying a tree representing a forest (German: Wald). The two eagles are those from the family arms of the Counts of Leiningen, local rulers until 1793. The axe is symbolising the fact that the village was founded in the 19th century as a village for wood workers by forest clearance. It is also symbolising the importance of forestry and timber industry.
