Blazon : "Under the black shield head, inside striding, red-armored, tongued, golden lion, split, in front red-silver sheathed, behind in gold a black sloping grid, covered with two crossed black mountain hammers." The municipality has had this coat of arms since 1990.

Justification of the coat of arms: The lion refers to the former sovereigns, the Count Palatine near the Rhine and the Dukes of Simmern. Reckershausen was in the former provost area of ​​Ravengiersburg. Until the abbey was dissolved in 1566, they were its governors and until 1707 they were the rulers of the provost's office . The front field refers to the rear county of Sponheim, which had numerous "rear seats" and 19 "court riders" in the village. The inclined grid symbolizes the mesh of a sieve. Screen making and screen trade were of great importance in the past centuries. The mountain hammers point to the ore mining carried out in the area.
