Shield quartered; 1st quarter Gules a 6-spokes wheel Argent; 2nd quarter Argent a cross moline Gules; 3rd quarter Or a double-headed eagle Sable, armed and tongued Gules; 4th quarter Sable a lion rampant Or crowned, armed and tongued Gules; orle of 20 segments alternating of Argent and Gules.
Meaning:
All arms of the municipalities of the associated municipality are based on former local court seals. The most important ruler and manorial lord before the French Revolution had been the Archbishopric of Mainz. Its arms are thus on the 1st quarter. The tinctures of the orle are also alluding to the archbishopric. The cross moline is taken from the arms of the city of Nieder-Olm, seat of the associated municipality. The lion displays the arms of the Palatine Electors, who had been rulers after the Congress of Vienna. The eagle is referring to local Free Imperial Territories. The orle is symbolising the status of an associated municipality.

Shield parted per fess, above Argent a cross moline Gules, beneath Gules a 6-spokes wheel Argent.
Meaning:
The wheel is taken from the arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz, to which the village belonged until 1803. Also the tinctures red and white are alluding to the archbishopric. The meaning of the cross is not for sure. The oldest seal from 1519 displays the above cross, whereas the seal from 1710 displayed a white cross patty on red background and a red wheel on white background. It has been stated that the cross may have been the symbol of the local patron saint, St. George.

Meaning:
The wheel is taken from the arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz, to which the village belonged until 1803. Also the tinctures red and white are alluding to the archbishopric. The cross already appeared on the oldest village seal from 1653, which had been the base of a proposal with damascene quarters. The barrulets wavy are local symbols, which were used on municipal border stones.

Shield Or, on mount Vert issaunt from base a grapevine Vert with two bunches of grapes Azure and three cross shaped leaves of the same.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the 3rd village seal from 1714, which displayed the Vineyard of Christ (John 15,1). An older version of the arms was different in details as follows: The background tincture was silver (=white). Issuant from base there was a triplemount. Instead of leaves there had been three red crosses fleury. Older seals only showed a grapevine as a symbol of the important viticulture in the area.

Shield parted per fess, above Or a double-headed eagle Sable armed and tongued Gules, beneath Azure under a barrulet embattled Argent a key of the same in bend.
Meaning:
The eagle is alluding to the fact that Elsheim had been a Free Imperial Village in the past. The barrulet wavy is symbolising the moated fortification of Stadecken, which had been built by Count Eberhart of Katzenelnbogen in 1291. The key is an attribute of St. Peter, the local patron saint.
