Origin/meaning

The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, which is known since the 14th century. The chevron is taken from the arms of the Counts of Sponheim, who ruled the area at the time and who granted the city rights. The meaning of the crown is not clear, it may be a symbol of the importance of the Counts of Sponheim in the German empire. The arms thus haven't changed since, except for the colours. The present colours are used since the middle of the 20th century.
