Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 2, 1926.

The arms show the lion of the Pfalz, holding a shield with in the upper part the diamonds of the Wittelsbach family, Kings of Bayern and Counts of the Palatinate (Pfalz). The anchor is a symbol for the importance of sailing and the local harbour on the Rhine river. The town belonged since 1574 to the Pfalz and the arms first appear in the 17^th century, with the lion as supporter.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
