coat of arms

Blazon : In silver on a green ground, Erfeld's coat of arms shows St. Wendelin in a blue robe and black boots with a black bag on a silver ribbon, holding a black shepherd's staff in his right hand. In front of him is a black dog with a red tongue.

History of the coat of arms: Saint Wendelin is the church patron of Erfeld . During the time of the Principality of Leiningen, the community seal of Erfeld featured the Liningian coat of arms with the church patron as a shield holder. In 1908/09 the current coat of arms in a different color was proposed by the General State Archives. In 1958/59 it was changed to the current color.
