context_page_description: Nanzdietschweiler is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Oberes Glantal.
context_section_description: The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A pale wavy argent between azure an endorse of the first and sable a lion rampant Or armed and langued gules.
  The arms were approved by the Rheinhessen-Pfalz Regierungsbezirk administration in Neustadt an der Weinstraße on 26 February 1980. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is drawn from the arms once borne by Electoral Palatinate, which was once Nanzdiezweiler's overlord. The silver endorse (a slim variant of a pale) on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the Counts of Leyen, to whom Dietschweiler and Nanzweiler once belonged. The wavy pale symbolizes the river Glan, which links the formerly self-administering municipalities, but which for centuries was a border that sundered the villages that now make up Nanzdietschweiler. The official interpretation holds that the Glan was formerly a border between two lordships following two different denominations of Christianity. The Ortsteil of Nanzdiezweiler bears its own arms that might be described thus: Per fess bendy lozengy argent and azure, and per pale Or and sable a half waterwheel counterchanged.
  The municipality's flag is blue-white-blue in a 2:5:2 ratio, with the arms in the middle. It has been flown since 19 December 1985.
