KAULBACH
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Kusel
Incorporated into : 1969 Kreimbach-Kaulbach
Official blazon
- (de) Von Silber und Rot geteilt, oben ein wachsender roter Wolf, an einem aus dem rechten Schildrand hervorbrechenden natürlichen Felsen anspringend, unten ein Schräglinkswellenbalken, belegt mit drei schwarzen Kugeln.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 14, 1953.
The wolf with the rock are taken from the older arms, see below. The lower half is canting for the name Kaulbach. Bach is brook or stream and Kaul refers to the boulders falling from the local cliffs into the river and are rounded to form balls by the current. Kaul is the local word for Kugel (ball).
The previous arms were used until 1953.
These arms are derived from the oldest known seal of the village. The meaning of the wolf or rock is not known.
