The shield is golden. Beneath a black chevron in chief is a throughout red cross, charged in its centre by a silver 6-spokes wheel.
Meaning:
The wheel is reminding on the Archbishops of Mainz, the former rulers. The chevron is symbolizing the suffix ü-hausenü. It is representing a roof and also protection. Connected with the cross it is representing also local clerical buildings: the 14-saints chapel and the St.John's Monastery.

The shield is parted per pale; at dexter a green field charged with a silver baptistery; at sinister a black field divided by a silver, wavy bend sinister, charged with a blue trout.
Meaning:
The municipality's name is derived from "Wildebach" (= wild creek), symbolized by bend wavy and trout. The sinister half is thus canting. The baptistery is that one located in the local church.
