Origin/meaning
The city of Erbendorf was founded in an Imperial Estate and the arms thus show the Imperial Eagle. According to legend the arms were granted in 1303, but no proof exits thereof.
The eagle has always been the main part of the arms. To distinguish the arms from the many other arms with the imperial eagle, the eagle shown wearing some kind of hat in the 14th century. In the 16th century this was changed into a laurel wreath and in 1812 to the typical hat used by the Kurfürst of the Pfalz (Prince-Elect of the Palatinate). In 1819 the eagle was no longer crowned, and was facing left. Later in the 19th century a letter E was shown on the breast and the eagle was again facing right. The present official arms (according to HDBG) date from the early 20th century and show the eagle facing right and wearing a crown.
Currently the town uses the arms with the typical hat, and with red claws, even though the blazon states differently.
