Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 9, 1951.

The arms show in the upper part two lions holding a mill-stone. This composition was based on the 17th century seal of the village. The whole composition of this seal was already officially granted on December 24, 1845 to Harthausen by King Ludwig I of Bayern. In the new arms the lower part was added, with a fleur-de-lis.

The arms of 1845

The village of Harthausen belonged to the Amt Marientraut of the State of Speyer. In 1230 a Cistercian convent (Heilsbrück) was established in the village, which was later moved to Edenkoben, but the nuns kept an estate in the village. In the late 15th century problems arose between the village and the convent about the local mill. This conflict lasted for many decades and this is probably the origin of the two lions (the lions of the Pfalz region), holding (fighting ?) a millstone. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of St. Mary and is taken from the old seal of the Heilsbrück convent. The silver and blue colours are those of the State of Speyer.
