Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 21, 1987.

The canting roe (Reh) already appeared on the seals from the village, the oldest known from 1747. Hupp took this image as arms in his book from 1928 and chose 'natural' colours. These arms were never granted.

The arms from 1987 show the roe again, but now in a field of the colours of the Pfalz region. The division in two parts, refers to the villages of Rehweiler and Reichartsweiler in the municipality. They are connected by a bridge over the Glan river, which is shown in the lower half of the shield.

Literature: Debus, 1988
