RHEINGÖNHEIM
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Urban district (Stadtkreis) : Ludwigshafen
Incorporated into : 1938 Ludwigshafen
Official blazon
In Schwarz ein linksgewendeter rotbewehrter und -bezungter silberner Löwe, einen aufgerichteten silbernen Fisch in den Pranken haltend.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 24, 1845.
The arms are based on the old seal of the town, known since 1677. The lion most likely is taken from the arms of the Counts of the Rhein, who used a silver lion in a blue field. Until 1426 the counts held many possessions in the village. Although the Bavarian archives proposed the original colours, the arms were granted with a black field.
Hupp mentioned in the late 1920s that the lion was derived from Knight Johann von Löwenstein (lion-stone), who, in 1426, received the village in loan.
The fish symbolizes the previously very important fisheries in the Rhein river.
