STROMBERG
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Bad Kreuznach
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Stromberg
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The present arms were granted in 1913 and show the lion of the Pfalz rising from a canting mountain (Berg).
Stromberg received city rights in the 13th century from the Counts of the Pfalz, who had one of their residencies in the city. The oldest seal of the city is known from the 15th century and shows a quartered shield. The first and fourth quarter showed a chequered field, the second and third a crowned lion. The chequered field is derived from the arms of the Fauste von Stromberg family, the lion is the lion of the Pfalz.
In the 16th century the composition of the first and fourth quarters was replaced by the diamonds of the Wittelsbach family, Princes of the Pfalz. These were used until the late 19th century, and were shown by Hupp in the 1920s (see below).
