Ludwigshafen Coat of Arms

Shield Gules an anchor Or.
Meaning:
Ludwigshafen was founded in 1853 and received city rank in 1859. The new city used a seal with an anchor as a symbol for sailing on the Rhine River.These arms had been never officially approved. In 1899 the arms on the seal were quartered to add symbols for the two municipalities that had merged with Ludwigshafen. As the city was founded by King Ludwig I of Bayern, the 1st quarter showed the lozenges of Bayern. The anchor appears in the 2nd quarter, the 3rd showed a silver spade in a blue field for Friesenheim and the 4th showed a black key in pale in a silver quarter for Mundesheim. These arms were not officially granted either. The shape of shield changed to a nowadays Renaissance shield.
