The arms were granted on January 10, 1961 and show the lion and bordure of the Counts of Leinigen and the imperial eagle. Landau got city rights in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century from Count Emich IV von Leiningen-Landeck. Already at the end of the century the city had become an imperial city. Since 1413 small seals with the imperial eagle are known for the city. | The arms were granted on January 10, 1961 and show the lion and bordure of the Counts of Leinigen and the imperial eagle.

On January 4, 1907 the city was granted arms with the lion and a red chief above a city gate with two hornblowers. This composition is identical to the oldest known great seal of the city, known since 1286. The shield with the lion is again the arms of the Counts of Leiningen, but with a chief instead of a bordure. <br/> | On January 4, 1907 the city was granted arms with the lion and a red chief above a city gate with two hornblowers.

Prior to 1907 the city used arms with a gate with a small shield showing a lion between the towers. This image was a bad reconstruction from the old seal. <br/> | Prior to 1907 the city used arms with a gate with a small shield showing a lion between the towers.
