Shield Argent an eagle Sable armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
In 1938 the rural towns of Niederingelheim and Oberingelheim and the municipality of Frei-Weinheim merged and the product was upgraded to a city. An eagle bearing a crown upon his breast already appeared in the 14th century on a seal of the local imperial court of justice and on older seals of both rural towns, which had been under direct imperial rule. The arms of Oberingelheim displayed the eagle on a golden background since 1508. The arms of Niederingelheim from the 16th century displayed an eagle issuant from an embattled red wall on a silver background.

Shield Gules a wheel Argent with four cut spokes and superimposed by a throughout facetted cross Argent.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the 15th century seal of the village. The seal already showed the arms, with St. Bilhildis and St. Catherine as supporters. St. Bilhildis, represented by the cross, was patron saint of the Altenmünster Abbey in Mainz, which owned the village at that time. St. Catherine, represented by the wheel, was the local patron saint.

Shield Or an eagle Sable armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The arms display the one-headed imperial eagle, as Wackernheim had been a Free Imperial Village since 900. The eagle appeared on the oldest known seal of the village, used between 1586 and 1760. A proposal from 1955 displayed the eagle with a white inescutcheon upon his breast, charged with a red initial "W" as distinguishing mark. This proposal was not adopted by the municipality.
