Wappen von Udenheim

Official blazon

(de) In Blau ein goldener, von zwei roten Sparren belegter Schräg-rechts-Balken, beseitet von je einem silbernen rechtsgewendeten Adler. Darüber in einem goldenen Schildhaupt ein blaues Rebengewinde.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1969.

The arms are a combination of the arms of two former rulers of the area and a chief with a grape vine. The grape vine symbolises the importance of viticulture in the area. The golden bend with chevrons is derived from the arms of the Lords von Udenheim. In 1380 Count Heinrich II von Sponheim appointed Peter von Udenheim with the estate in the village. The silver eagle is derived from the arms of the Köth von Wannscheid family, who lived in the area and in 1590 Johann Friedrich Köth von Wannscheid was buried in the local church.

In 1956 the arms below ere proposed, but the village council decided on the addition of a second eagle as well as the chief.
