ATZELGIFT
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Westerwaldkreis (until 1974 Oberwesterwaldkreis)
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Hachenburg
Official blazon
Im schräggeteilten Feld vorne in Silber eine schwarze Elster mit silberner Brust und silberner Armdecke, den Schnabel geöffnet, hinten in Grün eine zweigeteiltes goldenes Rad, die obere Hälfte als Wagenrad, die untere Hälfte als unterschlächtiges Mühlenrad ausgebildet.
Origin/meaning
The arms show a magpie is a canting element, Atzelgift is derived from the meaning 'where the magpies cry'.
The wheel symbolises a wagon wheel and therefore the importance of agriculture for the municipality. It also refers to the former iron ore mining in the area. The lower half of the wheel is shown as a water mill wheel, symbolising the two former wate rmills in the village, known since the 15th century.
