STEINBACH AM DONNERSBERG
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Donnersbergkreis
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Winnweiler
Official blazon
In Blau auf grünem Grund, linkshin sitzend, Johannes der Evangelist in silbernem Mantel und rotem Unterkleid, sein Evangelium in ein rotgebundenes silbernes Buch schreibend, rechts hinter ihm stehend ein schwarzer Adler.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 11, 1950.
The arms are based on the local seal of the village from 1777. The arms show the local patron saint, St. John the Evangelist, with his symbol, the eagle. The seal was used until the late 19th century. At the same time the arms were adopted, and the colours were added arbitrarily. As the design and colours are not according to heraldic rules, it took until 1950 before the arms were officially granted.
Literature : Debus, 1988
