GEINSHEIM
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Urban district (Stadtkreis) : Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Incorporated into : 1969 Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on May 15, 1845.
The goose-foot is a canting symbol, the original name is Gensheim (goose-home). The goose-foot already appeared on the seal of the city known since 1722. In 1839 the Bavarian State Herald wanted to replace the arms with a tree trunk. The council refused to the proposal and refused the use of arms altogether. However, when they realized that the goose-foot was a historical symbol, they proposed to adopt the foot in the arms, which was granted by the King against the will of the herald.
Literature : Debus, 1988.
