Coat of arms
The municipality's arms might be described thus: Azure a talon Or barwise unguled gules, issuant from the top three plumes argent.
What appears on the escutcheon is a canting charge for the noble family that was enfeoffed with Gundheim in 1699. It bore the name Greiffenclau, rather reminiscent of the German words greifen (“grasp” or “seize”) and Klaue (“claw”).
