State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Rastatt (until 1973 Bühl)
Incorporated into : 1974 Rheinmünster
Official blazon
(de) In Silber zwei gekreuzte schwarze Ruderstangen, begleitet von zwei roten Rosen.
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the old village sign, which is first mentioned in 1573 for the design of a new border stone. The sign is described as a rudder, most likely as the village borders the Rhine and shipping has been of importance for the village. In 1812 the village had its own seal, with the rudder between two roses and two branches under a crown (but not on a shield). The roses are most likely added as decoration.
In 1900 the council proposed to the district the new arms, which were approved by the State Archives. Why the council opted for two rudders is not known, there is no historical evidence thereof.
 The seal of Greffern from the 19th century. |
