Heilberscheid is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The community lies in the Westerwald between Koblenz and Limburg an der Lahn in the Nassau Nature Park. The community belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Montabaur, a kind of collective municipality.
In 1362, Heilberscheid had its first documentary mention.
The council is made up of 12 council members who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 7 June 2009.
The community’s arms show a Madonna in the middle in a grotto with a model of Heilberscheid’s Marienkappelle (built 1889-1891). The hornbeam twigs refer to the widespread hornbeams that grow in the Heilberscheid Forest. The background tinctures, red and silver, are from the arms borne by the Electorate of Trier.
