BAD SALZSCHLIRF
State : Hessen

Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were designed in 1925, but officially granted in 1948.
The arms show the different aspects of the local economy; until the late 19th century the town had a mainly agricultural character, symbolised by the plough iron. Nowadays the town is a health resort and spa, which is symbolised by the snake.
