Origin/meaning
Mösbach belonged until 1803 to the State and diocese of Strassburg (now Strasbourg, France). From 1803-1972 it was a separate municipality.
The oldest known seal dates from the early 19th century and shows a standing knight, but not on a shield. In 1910 the council asked for a new seal with appropriate arms. The State Archives proposed the present arms, as cherries were one of the major crops in the village. The arms were adopted in February 1910.
Literature : Zier, 1964.
