The arms show a grill, the symbol of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the town. The grill already appears on the oldest known seal of the town, dating from the late 16<sup>th</sup> century. All later seals showed the grill as the main figure, and thus was the grill placed in a shield and granted as arms in 1926. The colours are derived from the arms of the Pfalz, to which the town historically belonged (in black a golden lion). | The arms show a grill, the symbol of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the town.
