GLEISWEILER
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Südliche Weinstrasse

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 14, 1844.
The arms are based on the local seals of the village, which are known from 1546-1729. The horseshoe most likely is the older village symbol; the grapes indicate the importance of viticulture for the area.
Literature : Debus, 1988
