LUDWIGSWINKEL
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Südwestpfalz
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Dahner Felsenland
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 12, 1968.
The village was founded in the 18th century and was part of the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg, which, at the time, was ruled by the Dukes of Hessen. The arms thus show the lion of Hessen, combined with a canting point with the letter L (Winkel means corner).
Literature : Debus, 1988
