Origin/meaning
Dürkheim was the capital of the Counts of Leiningen, who granted city rights in 1360. The oldest existing seal dates from 1490 and shows the wall-anchor, taken from the arms of Lord Eckbrecht of Dürkheim. A later seal, which has been used from 1540-1776 shows the same arms, with on top a cross and an abbott's crosier. The cross and crosier indicate the fact that the town (the city rank had been temporarily lost) belonged to the monastery of the H. Cross in Limburg until 1554. The arms have thus basically never changed.
