At its bottom are the coats of arms of Meißenheim proper left slightly in bend and Kürzell in normal position but a bit lower. Both are topped by their municipality names in black letters.

Meißenheim Coat of Arms

Meißenheim was ruled by the Lords of Geroldseck and since the 15th century by several kins of local knights. In 1806 it became a dominion of Baden. Local seals since the end of the 18th century already displayed an annulet, which probably hadn't been more than a local symbol. Attempts of the village mayor in 1935, to introduce a titmouse (German: Meise) as a canting symbol failed. The tinctures are those of Baden. They were fixed in 1967.

Kürzell Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, a saint, dressed Gules, holding a gridiron Sable in bend by his right hand, and an inescutcheon Or in bend, charged with a plough share Gules, by his left hand.
Meaning:
The saint is St. Lawrence, local patron saint of Kürzell, recognisable by his attribute, the gridiron. The plough share probably is a mere local symbol.
