Mauchenheim’s current mayor is Udo Arm.
The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Azure under a baldachin Or Saint Remigius as a bishop vested argent and mitred of the same garnished of the second, in his dexter hand a crozier of the second, in his sinister hand a book gules garnished of the second, at his feet an escutcheon of the second charged with the letter M of the fourth.
This is, as far as is possible, a direct translation of the German blazon (In blau unter goldenem Baldachin der heilige Remigius als Bischof in silbernem Gewand, mit goldbesetzter silberner Mitra, in der Rechten einen goldenen Krummstab, in der Linken ein goldbeschlagenes rotes Buch haltend, zu seinen Füßen ein goldener Schild, darin ein roter Majuskelbuchstabe M).
The arms were granted on 20 December 1934.
Hermann Heinrich Fitting, journalist
The noble family Mauchenheim genannt Bechtolsheim (genannt means “called”) named itself after Mauchenheim.
