MÄRKT
State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Lörrach
Incorporated into : 1975 Weil am Rhein
Official blazon
In Silber ein schwarzer Anker.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted in 1980.
The arms are based on the 19th century seal of the village, which shows already an anchor. The anchor itself probably indicates the former importance of fishing and sailing on the |Rhein river for the village.
Literature : Huber, 1984
