Origin/meaning
The present arms were officially granted on May 6, 1846.
Zweibrücken was already an important town in the 13th century, but it did not receive city rights until 1352. The oldest seal dates from about the same time. The arms show the lion as in the present arms. It is the lion of the counts of Zweibrücken, a younger line of the counts of Saarbrücken. In 1385 they sold the city and surrounding area to the Wittelsbach family, but the arms did not change.
The arms of the counts of Zweibrücken also forms part of the arms of the county Homburg.
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
