Münchwald's mayor is Stephan Wagner, and his deputies are Sibille Jörg and Heike Zensen. The German blazon reads: "In schwarzem Schild eine goldene Tanne, neben der ein Mönch mit einer Rodehacke steht." The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Sable dexter a fir tree Or and sinister a monk passant holding in his dexter hand a clearing hoe resting on his dexter shoulder argent, the whole with a bordure compony gules and argent. The German blazon makes no mention of the bordure, nor of the monk's tincture. The charges in the arms refer to the clearing of the forest by the monks from the Cistercian monastery, Eberbach Abbey, who established a monastic estate in the Münchwald area called Dadenborn about 1200. The tinctures Or and sable (gold and black) symbolize the Lordship of Dalberg, while the tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) in the bordure stand for the County of Sponheim. The arms were introduced in this form upon municipal council's decision on 23 February 1948, later receiving approval from the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of the Interior on 4 April 1950. The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural Monuments:  The following clubs are active in Münchwald:  Meeting in Münchwald are "Kreisstraßen" 28 and 29, while "Landesstraßen" 230 and 239 skirt the village.
