Pirmasens Coat of Arms

Shield Argent a gate tower Gules with roofs Azure flanked by two embattled towers Gules, in chief a lion rampant Or holding a swword in bend sinister and alking over a thunderbolt Or.
Meaning:
The arms were granted in 1769 when Pirmasens received city rights from Landgrave Ludwig IX of Hessen-Darmstadt. At the same time a seal was devised showing a fortress with the lion of Hessen standing on two thunderbolts on the main tower, and surrounded by birds. This complicated and unheraldic composition was transformed into more proper arms in 1845. These were the arms as shown above. The city was simplified and the birds removed. The arms, however, were not properly described, so many versions of the arms have been used since then.

The date of approval of flag and banner is unknown. The arms were ranted in 1845 by King Ludwig I of Bayern
