NIEDERAUERBACH
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Urban district (Stadtkreis) : Zweibrücken
Incorporated into : 1972 Zweibrücken
Official blazon
In Schwarz auf grünem Grund (Rasen) ein schreitender rot bewehrter, -bezungter und -bekrönter goldener Löwe mit erhobener rechter Tatze.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were never officially granted. The lion appeared on the local seal from 1751, and is probably derived from the arms of the Lords von Kellenbach, who had their estate in the village since the middle of the 18th century. The colours are those of the Pfalz.
Literature : Debus, 1988.
