| German | Schrägrechts gerautet von Silber und Blau, im rechten Obereck ein Schildchen darin in Silber ein goldbewehrter, rotgezungter blauer Löwe. |

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1953.
The arms show the lion of the counts of Veldenz on the arms of the Wittelsbach family.
 The arms of the Counts of Veldenz, 1475 |
The counts of Veldenz founded a castle in Emichonen in 1115 and named themselves after the area (Von Veldenz). The town became a city in 1286 as a grant of King Rudolf of Habsburg. The counts of Veldenz ruled until 1444, when the county was incorporated in Pfalz-Zweibrücken. From 1543-1694 a branch of the Wittelsbach family (see also Bayern), who ruled the Pfalz since the 13th century, named themselves after Veldenz. Consequently the Wittelsbach arms were incorporated in the towns arms.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
