RUPPERTSBERG
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Bad Dürkheim
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Deidesheim
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 12, 1955.
The oldest seal of Ruppertsberg dates from 1737 and showed the letters BS and a village symbol. The meaning of the symbol has never been explained, although many explanations have been given, such as a special tool, a village symbol, a monogram and more. It has also been explained as having been part of the arms of the Lords of Ruppertsberg. The letters probably originally were RB, but that is not clear. The composition was used as arms until 1955, see below.
The present arms show the castle of the Lords of Ruppertsberg, combined with a bunch of grapes, symbolizing the viticulture.
