Shield parted per pale, at dexter Or a demi-eagle Sable, crowned Or, armed and tongued Gules and couped per pale; at sinister Azure a grain sheaf Or tied Gules.
Meaning:
The demi-eagle in the arms is taken from the family arms of the Lords von Hallberg, the last local rulers of the village until the late 18th century. The sheaf is symbolising the importance of agriculture for the village. The historical seal of the villages showed the image of St. Albanus, the local patron saint, with his head in his hand. This seal is known since 1570. Otto Hupp showed the seal as arms for the village in his roll of arms of the Pfalz in 1928. In the mid 1930ies, wehen the village council applied for arms, there was no agreement among the council to use the saint and finally a non religious compromise resulted in the present arms.

Shield Sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and tongued Gules, holding an inescutcheon quartered of Argent and Gules by his forepaws.
Meaning:
Lambsheim gained city rights in 1323. Local seals until the 17th century only displayed the Palatine lion. Prints existed since 1360. Under the influence of Matthäus Merian (1645) the inescutcheon was added and appeared on seals since 1660. It displayed the family arms of the local Leysser kin. The grant displayed the inescutcheon erroneously in the tinctures red and black, based on a sculpture at the town hall. The current tinctures of the inescuitcheon are based on the image of Matthäus Merian and were also used by Otto Hupp in 1928.
