The oldest known seal dates from the middle of the 17th century (known 1637- +/- 1800) and shows a city gate. This seal was still known in the middle of the 19th century and was the base for the grant of the first arms, by King Ludwig I of Bayern on August 3, 1842. | The oldest known seal dates from the middle of the 17th century (known 1637- +/- 1800) and shows a city gate.

The shape of the gate and the colours were, however, not natural, nor historical. The silver and blue were the colours of Bayern (Bavaria), to which the area belonged in 1842. Hence in 1962 new arms were granted, which more correctly showed the actual gate in the colours of Germany and the Pfalz region. At the same time the small shield with the Sickingen arms was added to reflect the longtime relation of the city with the counts. | The shape of the gate and the colours were, however, not natural, nor historical.

There is also a legend regarding the city gate; in a siege in 1537 Count Franz von Sickingen died, but according to the legend the citizens of Landstuhl defended their city and gate fiercely. A later descendent of Franz von Sickingen therefore granted the city the arms with the gate. There is, however, no historical proof of any grant, only the use of the gate on the city seal. | There is also a legend regarding the city gate; in a siege in 1537 Count Franz von Sickingen died, but according to the legend the citizens of Landstuhl defended their city and gate fiercely.
