Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on ?

The arms are a combination of the lion of the Pfalz and a canting arm. The oldest seals of the city date from the early 15^th century and show already the lion and arm. Later the hand held a bunch of grapes as a symbol for the importance of the viticulture in the area, but these were removed in the 19^th century.

The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
