Shield parted per pale, at dexter Or a castle issuant Gules, at sinister Sable a church Or with roofs and windows Azure.
Meaning:
In 1219 Annweiler gained city rights according to the pattern of Speyer and furthermore the status of a Free Imperial City The current pattern already appeared on the first seal from around 1230. The city was pawned to the Palatine Counts of Rhine in 1359. Since then local seals displayed the imperial eagle, later with an intial "A" on an escutcheon upon his breast, replaced under Napoleon I by a French imperial eagle. In 1841 King Ludwig I of Bayern granted new arms. The eagle was white armed golden on a blue shield, basically the Bavarian tinctures. In 1950 the pattern of the oldest seal was restored. The colours black, red and golden are those of nowadays Germany.
