LUDWIGSHAFEN (LU)
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Additions : 1969 Speyer
Origin/meaning
The old (left) arms were granted on October 13, 1960.
The lion is the lion of the Pfalz, as the largest part of the district historically belonged to the Pfalz. The key is derived from the arms of the city of Mutterstadt. The lower part shows the Rhine Valley and river as well as the water lily leaves, as a typical symbol for the district.
The new arms were granted in 1971.
The new arms combine elements from the old arms with the cross of Speyer.
