Gaiberg Coat of Arms

Meaning:
The village belonged to the Bishopric of Worms and was bought by thePalatine Counts of Rhine in 1419. It remained their possession until 1802/1803, when it became a possession of the Margraviate of Baden. The arms are based on a court seal from 1764. The tinctures had been "natural colours" from 1900 until the 1960ies, when the current tinctures were introduced. The pillar is representing the so called "long stone", standing beside a linden tree. Origin and meaning of the pillar are unknown.
