Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 11, 1980.
These arms were adopted after the merger of Waldfischbach and Burgalben in 1969 combining symbols from both older arms. For Waldfischbach a silver fish on black and for Burgalben a red lion on gold. Both background colours combine the colours of the Kurpfalz black and gold.
Literature : Debus, 1988
