Shield Argent a millrind Sable.
Meaning:
Dürkheim had been the capital of the Counts of Leiningen, who granted city rights in 1360. The rights were forfeited in 1471 and regained in 1700. The oldest existing seal from 1490 and displayed the millrind, taken from the arms of Lord Eckbrecht of Dürkheim, when Dürkheim was possessed by the Palatine Counts of Rhine. A later seal, which has been used from 1540 until 1776 displayed the same arms, having on top a cross, a crown of thorns and an abbott´s crozier, as Dürkheim temporarily had been a fiefdom of the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Limburg until 1554. The arms have thus basically never changed.
