VOLKERZEN
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Altenkirchen
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Altenkirchen (Westerwald)
Official blazon
(de) Von Blau und Gold schräggeviert, oben eine goldene Sonne mit achtzehn welligen Strahlen, vorne ein aufgeschlagenes blaues Buch, hinten eine blaue siebensaitige Leier und unten drei goldene gekreuzte Ähren, aus denen beidseitig je ein goldener Pflug ragt.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in June 1995, but were originally designed in 1949.
The arms show the symbols for a good community life; the sun for life in general, a book for the bible, the harp for music and enjoyment, and a plough and wheatears for the agriculture. The original design was slightly different (see below) and in 1995 the arms were redesigned according to heraldic rules.
