Shield Gules, standing on base Vert an angel, dressed Argent, nimbed and winged Or, holding a sword flambant Argent hilted Or by his dexter hand and a pair of scales Or by his sinister hand.
Meaning:
Iggelheim had been a Free Imperial Village, which was pawned to the Palatine Electorate in 1330. Two court seals from the 18th century displayed the angel in a shield. He is St. Michael, recognisable by his attributes sword and scales. In 1845 King Ludwig I of Bayern granted arms with the same pattern with mentioning the tinctures completely. A roayl grant from 1863 only applied to the seal. The tinctures were added much later by Otto Hupp.
