BRUCHWEILER-BÄRENBACH
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Südwestpfalz
Additions : 1828 Bärenbach, Bruchweiler
Incorporated into : 1969 Wieslautern
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 18, 1953.
The arms show in the right half some reeds for the village of Bruchweiler, and in the left half a canting bear for Bärenbach. Bruch means a marshy area, hence the reeds. The main colours are silver and blue, which are the colours of the State of Speyer, to which both villages historically belonged.
Literature : Debus, 1988
