Origin/meaning
The arms were granted to the town in 1540 by Friedrich III Prince-Elector of the Pfalz. In 1743 the arms were confirmed by Emperor Karl VII. The arms show a canting rock (Fels) with the lion of the Pfalz. Only on the seal from 1811 the lion is crowned, otherwise the arms have not changed.
The arms by Apian (1559)
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes; Hupp, O: Kaffee Hag albums, 1920s
