Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 6, 1890.

The arms are already known form a seal dating from the end of the 14th century. The eagle is taken from the arms of the counts of Leiningen, who owned the town in the 14th century. The origin of the crosses is unknown. It has been stated that these were taken from the arms of the counts of Leiningen-Westerburg, but this family acquired Grünstadt not before 1467. It is more likely that they bear a reference to the Weissenburg abbey in the village.

The former arms were officially granted on July 27, 1841.

Wappen von Grünstadt/Arms (crest) of Grünstadt

These were based on a wrong interpretation of the old seal, and showed a crescent and a cross in the lower corners of the shield. Even though the arms were officially granted in a canting green (Grün) field, the city used the historical blue colour until the 1880s, see below
