Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 19, 1449 by Count Otto I of the Pfalz. The arms show a small church (Kirche), a canting element. The small shield shows the arms of the Wittelsbach family, to which the Counts of the Pfalz belonged. The trees symbolise the Pruckerforst forest around the town (now the Bodenwöhrer Forst). The arms have not changed since.
