Kandel Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a sword Argent in pale hilted Or and pointing to base, flanked by four facetted 6-point stars Or.
Meaning:
Kandel is the seat of the namesake associated municipality. Kandel as a possession of the Lords of Guttenberg was considered to be a market town since the 16th century. It gained city rights in 1937. The arms are based on a local court seal with prints since 1490. The sword is a differentiation of the family arms of the Lords of Kannel, former local rulers. Their arms displayed two black swords in saltire on a silver shield. That pattern was also used on a court seal from 1639. The stars are considered to be attributes of St. Mary, the local patron saint.
