The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a well boom with pail to sinister sable, on a base vert a Stutzweck Or.

The well, which stands as the main charge, was endowed in the 15th century by a Hungarian countess who was married at the Ehrenburg (castle).

The Stutzweck is a traditional baked article, and in Morshausen, it stems from a citizen's bequest in 1782.

He bequeathed his belongings to the municipality on the proviso that a good field be acquired, and that the rent drawn therefrom be used to bake Stutzwecken during Holy Week and to buy wine.

The Stutzweck is still shared out to the churchgoers each year on Good Friday after midday devotions.
