Bad Bergzabern Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess; above Or a lion passant Gules, armed and tongued Azure; beneath Argent a double impending reversed chevron Gules.
Meaning:
ZabernZabern gained city rights in 1286. The city was renamed in 1385 to Bergzabern and in 1964 to Bad Bergzabern. The existence of a proper seal is proven since the 14th century. It displayed an embattled wall with three towers and St. Mary sitting in the open gate. Secret seals from the middle of the 14th century only displayed the arms of the local rulers with the lion of Zweibrücken. The lower half had been empty and was filled by the chevrons since around 1600. The chevrons are considered to be a local mark of authority. Klemens Stadler (1966) painted the lion as armed red.
