Origin/meaning

Friedrichstal was founded in 1699 for Walloon refugees and named Friedrichstal in 1700 after its founder Margrave Friedrich of Baden-Durlach. The village had no own seal until 1811. The new seal showed the letter F surrounded by laurel branches. In 1895 the State Archives proposed arms with the letter F and a crown, in the colours of Baden. The proposal mentioned a crown lined with ermine, but the municipality adopted a normal crown in the arms as could be seen on the seal from 1901. These arms were used until 1967 when the above arms were officially granted.

The municipal stamp shown in 1892
