House of Leiningen
The arms were approved in 1970 by the now abolished "Regierungsbezirk" administration in Neustadt. The doe comes from Obrigheim's old coat of arms, and the eagle is a charge drawn from Albsheim's, Colgenstein-Heidesheim's and Mühlheim's arms, and ultimately from those borne by the House of Leiningen. The key stands for Weißenburg Monastery.
