    Limburgerhof Coat of Arms

    Shield parted per fess, above Argent parted by a centred cross Sable, beneath Azure a watermill wheel Argent.
    Meaning:
    The municipality was established in 1930 by parts of the municipalities of Neuhofen, Rheingönheim and Schifferstadt. The black cross, sometimes depicted as facetted or a s cross patty is reminding on the Benedictine Limburg Monastery, which owned a name-giving estate (German: Hof) in the village. The monastery was secularised in 1571. The wheel is a representation of the Rehhütte, a local watermill, which was first mentioned in 1271 and is the oldest part of the current municipality. The tinctures blue and white are those of the Bishopric of Speyer and of Bayern as well. Both had been former rulers.

    Flag and banner have never been approved officially. The arms were approved in 1932 by Minister of Interior of Bayern.
