Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1956.

The arms show the lion of the Pfalz, indicating that the area was part of the Pfalz. The bend with grapes symbolises the Weinstrasse (Wine street) and the importance of wine growing in the area. The castle is the Hambach Castle, which, since May, 27 1832, is a historical place. At that date the Hambacher Fest took place, which laid the foundations of the German democratic movement.
