State : Rheinland-Pfalz
Urban district (Stadtkreis) : Landau in der Pfalz

Official blazon
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on June 14, 1844.
Godramstein received extended rights in 1285 from the city of Speyer. In the 14th century the town became a possession of the Counts of Leiningen. The oldest known seal of the town dates from 1447 and shows three-quartes of an eagle, most likely taken from the Leiningen arms, which showed three eagles. Since 1715 the arms and seals show a complete eagle. In 1844 the arms were granted in arbitrarily chosen colours. The Leiningen colours are in blue three silver eagles.
