Origin/meaning

Offenbach did not have its own seals or arms until 1709. In 1709 the village became part of Kurpfalz and got its own local court and council. The first seal of the council dates from the middle of the 18^th century and shows already the present arms. In 1956 the arms were officially granted. The origin of the symbols is unknown, it is likely that the symbols are an old sign to mark boundaries etc in the village.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
