Origin/meaning

Altschweier historically was ruled by Bühl and became a separate municipality at the end of the 18th century. The oldest seal of the municipality showed two grape vines, but not placed in a shield. Already in 1819 a new seal was made, with the arms of Baden. Again, in the middle of the 19th century the seal was replaced, now again with a grape vine. This time the vine was placed in a crowned shield. The State Archives proposed in 1900 to improve the arms and define the colours. The present arms were thus approved by the local council in May 1900.
