WALDULM

State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Ortenaukreis (until 1972 Bühl)
Incorporated into : 1974 Kappelrodeck

Origin/meaning:
The oldest seal of Waldulm dates from the early 19th century and shows more or less the later arms. The upper right field, however, is not clearly seen on all available stamps. Later in the 19th century the upper right field is shown with a bee, instead of the grape. When the present arms were granted in 1913 it was stated by the major that the arms should contain a grape and not a bee. The arms were adopted in June 1913. The upper part symbolises the importance of the viticulture in the area, the lower part is the initial of the village.

Literature : Zier, 1964.
