State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Urban district (Stadtkreis) : Frankenthal
Incorporated into : 1919 Frankenthal
Official blazon
Von Silber und Schwarz gespalten, rechts der heilige Stephanus in Vollgestalt mit goldenem Nimbus, roter Albe (Untergewand) und blauer Kasel (Diakoniegewand), in der Rechten drei schwarze Steine, in der Linken ein grüner Palmwedel, links durch einen silbernen Wellenbalken geteilt, darüber ein schrägliegender, mit dem Bart nach oben gekehrter silberner Schlüssel, beidseits von je drei goldenen Kreuzchen, darunter ein rotbewehrter und -bezungter goldener Löwe.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 8, 1987 as borough arms by the city of Frankenthal.
The arms are a more heraldically correct version of the older arms used by the council until 1919, see image below. These arms were never officially granted.
The whole composition is taken from the historical seal of the local court.
The arms show the local patron saint, St. Stephanus, with his attributes, the stones and palm leaf. The two shields show the key and stars of the State and diocese of Worms, and the lion of the Pfalz. Historically the village was a possession of Worms and later of the Counts of the Pfalz (Palatine).
