HIRSCHHORN
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Kaiserslautern
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Otterbach-Otterberg (until 2014 Verbandsgemeinde Otterberg)
Official blazon
- (de) In Silber auf schwarzem Felsenhügel, belegt mit einer silbernen Hirschstange, ein sitzendes rotes Eichhörnchen, einen schwarzen Doppelhaken haltend.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 16, 1955.
The village was known as Hünen-Scherre until 1766. The Scherre part of the name probably meant cliff or rock, which is symbolised by the black rock in the arms. The deer antler is canting (Hirschhorn means deer antler).
The squirrel is taken from the arms of the Otterberg Abbey, which had some possessions in the village already in 1233. The squirrel holds a hook, taken from the arms of the Katzweiler jurisdiction, to which the village belonged until the end of the 18th century.
