In Blau der silberne lateinische Großbuchstabe R. Origin/meaningRitschweier was a separate village belonging to the Counts of Erbach for many centuries. From 1812-1837 it was part of the municipality of Rippenweier. The arms remained unchanged until 1972. The seal of the village, however, showed between 1945 and 1960 a completely different shield. The shield was divided and showed in the upper half three wheat-ears and in the lower divided half, left two apples and right a plough. These were clearly agricultural symbols. The arms were never used anywhere else and no colours are known. Contact and SupportPartners: Your logo here ?
