KÖNIGSBACH AN DER WEINSTRASSE
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Urban district (Stadtkreis) : Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Incorporated into : 1969 Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 15, 1845.
The deer antler is taken from the arms of the Lords of Hirschhorn (which means deer antler), who ruled the village for many centuries as vassals for the Bishops of Speyer. The left half, with the bend and the fleur-de-lis is of unknown origin. The arms appeared already on the seal of 1590, but with the deer antler in the right half. The above arms appeared in the 18th century and did not change afterwards.
Literature : Debus, 1988.
