Historical coats of arms of the independent cities

Frankenthal (Palatinate)

The current coat of arms was introduced on November 27, 1954 and replaced the coat of arms that can be seen here. This was introduced on July 27, 1841. The diamond stands for the three major ethnic groups in Frankenthal at that time: Dutch, Walloons and Germans. Flomersheim , Mörsch and Studernheim
were incorporated into Frankenthal in 1919 , and Eppstein in 1969 .

Kaiserslautern

Kaiserslautern was incorporated in 1969 Dansenberg , Erfenbach (1937 Stockborn ), Erlenbach , Hohenecken , Mölschbach , Morlautern and Siegelbach

In 1937 Ehrenbreitstein, Horchheim, Metternich, Pfaffendorf were incorporated; 1969 Güls, Kesselheim, Stolzenfels; 1970 Arenberg, Arzheim, Bubenheim, Immendorf , Lay and Rübenach

Landau

The current coat of arms was introduced on January 10, 1961 and shows the imperial eagle as a shield in front of the lion, as the city became a free and imperial city as early as the late 13th century. On January 4th 1907 a coat of arms was confirmed with a castle and two horn blowers in the towers, this reconstructs the oldest seal from 1286. A bad reconstruction was used before 1907.
There were also some incorporations: 1937 Mörlheim, Queichheim; 1972 Arzheim, Dammheim, Godramstein, Mörzheim, Nussdorf and Wollmesheim

Ludwigshafen am Rhein

Today's Ludwigshafen coat of arms (anchor) was awarded as early as 1853. With the incorporation of Friesenheim in 1895, its spades and the Wittelsbach diamonds were taken up by the Palatinate and Bavaria . After Mundenheim was incorporated, its key was taken. In 1937 Ludwigshafen returned to the original coat of arms. As a result, Maudach, Oggersheim and Oppau were incorporated in 1938, and Ruchheim in 1974. Edigheim had already joined Oppau in 1929, so that the common place still had its own coat of arms for a short time
