Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 13, 1975.

As the arms of the previous municipalities could not be combined, the arms were newly designed. The upper half shows the arms of Baden and Speyer, as historically the area was part of the State of Speyer or Baden.

The base shows a bridge, as a symbol for the merger ofthe municipalities, and also refers to the Pfinz river.

Literature: John et al., 1990
