Origin/meaning

The arms show an anchor and rudder as symbol for the sailing on the river Rhine, which was of great importance to the town. The symbols already appear on a seal dating from 1616.

The second known seal of Iffezheim dates from the 19th century and shows some strange symbol in a oval shield. It is probably the old village sign. In 1900 the municipality applied for historical arms and the State Archives proposed the present arms. The council approved the arms in April 1901.
