Origin/meaning
The oldest seals of the city are known from the 14th century, when the city was a possession of the Counts of Zweibrücken. The secret seal from the 14th century shows a divided shield with in the upper half a lion passant, probably the lion of the counts of Zweibrücken. The large seal shows a city gate with St. Mary, see image below.
Around 1600 the seals and the arms of the city showed the two inverted chevrons. Their origin is not known, they were not part of the arms of the ruling family (by the time the Counts of the Pfalz) and are also not known as a separate town sign (Hausmarke). Most likely they were simply introduced to fill the lower half.
The colours were not fixed during the years, as can be seen in the coloured version of Hozier (below). In the early 19th century the city applied for a grant for the use of the arms, but, due to an error, applied for a golden lion on gold, which was granted on June 16, 1842, by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The golden lion is also the symbol for the Pfalz region. In 1867 the arms were changed by the State Heraldry Office of Bavaria into a silver lion. The reason thereof is not known.
Since around 1928 the city uses the arms in more historical colours, with the lion of Zweibrücken in proper colours.
