The anchor in the arms is likely a canting element (Enkirch, from Ankerich ?), and already appears on the oldest known seal, dating from 1344. The seal also shows the two small shields with the arms of the Counts of Sponheim, who at the time ruled the village. <br/> | The anchor in the arms is likely a canting element (Enkirch, from Ankerich ?), and already appears on the oldest known seal, dating from 1344.

When the village became a joined possession of the Pfalz and Baden, the two shields showed the lion of the Pfalz and the bend of Baden. The Sponheim arms were added as a third shield on the base of the anchor. In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the old arms were restored. | When the village became a joined possession of the Pfalz and Baden, the two shields showed the lion of the Pfalz and the bend of Baden.
