From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:
The arms were granted on December 20, 1972. The county historically belonged to the Pfalz and to the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg. This is symbolised in the arms with the lion of the Pfalz and the chevrons of Hanau.Literature: Linder and Olzog 1996.
