Wappen von Bargen (Helmstadt-Bargen)

Official blazon

(de) In von Gold und Rot gespaltenem Schild vorn ein roter Heuschober, hinten ein aufrechter goldener Schlüssel.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 3, 1950.

The right half of the arms show a hay-shed, which is a canting element (the name is derived from the old word Parac, or hay-shed). The key in the left half is the key of the Worms Abbey, which ruled the village from 1719-1803. The colours are those of Baden.

The village already received arms in 1901, which showed the letter B on the shield of the Wittelsbach family (in silver 24 blue diamonds). The village was from 1380-1803 part of the Pfalz, which was a possession of the Wittelsbach family (see the arms of Bayern).
