Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
ECHTERSHAUSEN
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Bitburg-Prüm (until 1970 Bitburg)
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Bitburg-Land
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 5, 1981.
The arms symbolise partly the geographical situation in the area, the typical mountains around the Prüm river. The blue colour symbolises the colour of the granite in the mountains, but is also derived from the historical blue and silver colours of Luxembourg. Until 1800 the village belonged to Luxembourg.
The wheel in the lower part is the wheel of a plough and symbolises the historical agricultural character of the village.
Literature : Wappenbuch der Verbandsgemeinde Bitburg-Land 1995.
