In the 18<sup>th</sup> century the village, then named Pfortz, used a seal with the letter S. This is most likely the old village sign, whose origin is not known.

The bridge was an initiative of King Maximilian II of Pfalz-Bayern and the villages was renamed in 1938 after the King. The colours of the arms were also derived from the colours of the arms of [[Bayern]].
