Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
PATERSBERG
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Rhein-Lahn Kreis (until 1969 Loreleykreis)
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeide Loreley
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on March 22, 1984.
The only known seal of the village dates from the late 18th century and shows the barred lion of the counts of Hessen and the letters GPB (for Gericht Patersberg, Patersberg Court). In the arms the letters are replaced by a rooster.
The arms below were proposed in 1956, but never adopted. In the proposal these elements were combined, with only the letter P for the village.
Literature : Köhn, 1994; Hessisches Wappenbuch, 1956
