Origin/meaning

The old arms of Oggersheim (above right) were granted in 1846. The new arms (above left) are used since 1980 for the Oggersheim district of the city of Ludwigshafen.

The oldest seal of the village is known from 1410, but dates from the 14th century. The seal shows a lion with a small cross on its shoulder. The origin of the lion is not known. The second seal, from 1718, shows the lion with the bar and holding the letter A. The A stands for Agersheim, the name of the town at the time. The lion (without the letter) and bar also appeared already in a book from 1645. The meaning of the bar is not known.
