At the bottom right there is a bunch of blue grapes on a golden background, at the bottom left on a black background, armed and speared in red, a golden lion turned to the right.
The eagle symbolizes the lineage of the Leininger family , the key the former prince-bishopric of Worms , the lion the Palatinate . The blue grape shows that in the Freinsheim area, the focus was early on growing red grape varieties , which take up almost half of the area under vines .
