Origin/meaning

The oldest seal of Bermersbach dates from the late 18^th century and shows a shield with a cross and in the base a stone. The origin of these symbols is not known. In the 1830s the municipality used a new seal, with a pine tree. In 1900 the State Archives proposed to adopt the old arms again, which the council agreed upon. The new arms, in arbitrarily colours, were adopted in January 1901.

The arms from the 19th century.
