Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 1, 1959.

Alsenz was jointly ruled by the Counts of Zweibrücken and Veldenz. In a seal from 1570 arms are shown, with in the upper half the lion of Pflaz and the diamonds of the Wittelsbach family as Counts of Zweibrücken, and in the lower half a wavy bar, the river Alsenz.

As Alzens became a possession of Nassau in 1755, the present arms show the lions of Veldenz and Nassau in the upper part and the river in the lower part.

Prior to 1959 the village used the old arms, with the Pfalz/Wittelsbach in the upper half unofficially:

Wappen von Alsenz
