Schifferstadt Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a stylised ship Or with rudder of the same at dexter, issuant from ship a facetted cross Argent.
Meaning:
In 1035 Emperor Konrad II enfeoffed the Benedictine Limburg Monastery with a part of the village, later known as Groß-Schifferstadt. Klein-Schifferstadt in the northwest of the current municipality remained a dominion of the Franconian Salian dynasty. The former was donated to the Bishopric of Speyer together with the monastery by Emperor Heinrich IV. The latter was pawned in 1331 as part of a bailiwick to the Palatine Counts of Rhine, who later became elctors and kept the village until 1708. The ship (German: Schiff) is canting and the cross is alluding to the monastery. The tinctures are those of the bishopric. The pattern is known by local seals since 1611. Probably there had been already seals since the middle of the 16th century. The arms were also displayed on a stone monument from 1558. During the 18th a sailing ship and the Motto "Gott mit uns" (= with God on our side) was used on border stones and local court seals. In 1860 King Maximilian II of Bayern granted arms as follows: Blue shield, on white waves a cog Or with pennants of red and white. The old pattern was restored in 1966. Schifferstadt gained city rights in 1950, which probably got lost in 1969.
