The oldest known seal of the village is known since 1759 and shows the lion of the Pfalz (to which the region belonged at the time) with the letters A and W.

At the end of the 19th century the State Archives of Baden proposed the above arms, with a vulture's head derived from the arms on a seal of Heinrich Schwedinger von Wiesloch from 1245. The Von Wiesloch family were the first owners of the castle around which the village developed. The vulture was used as a crest on the arms of the Von Wiesloch family. As no colours were known they were arbitrarily chosen. | |||
Even though the arms are more looking like an eagle's head, they are described as a vulture. | |||
