[1] The German blazon reads: Unten in zwei Reihen Blau/Gold geschachtetem Schildhaupt rote Schrägleiste in Gold, begleitet oben von einer roten Garbe, unten von einem roten Brunnen.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a bend between a fountain and a garb, all gules, and a chief countercompony azure and of the first.

The red and gold in the main field come from the arms formerly borne by the Margraviate of Baden, which held Maitzborn from 1708 to 1794.

The fountain on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side stands for the ones formerly found on the Badish estate, and which can also be taken as a canting charge for the village’s name ending, —born, which means “fountain” (although, as can be seen in the German blazon, the usual German word is Brunnen).

The garb (wheat sheaf) on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side stands for the municipality's important agricultural sector.
