Veldenz lion

The blazon is "argent, a lion rampant azure, armed and langued gules".

As a representation of the County of Veldenz[1] this lion can be found in many arms in the region.

In 1444 the Castle of Veldenz and the surrounding area in the Mittelmosel were granted to the Count of Pfalz-Zweibrücken.

The arms of Niederstaufenbach show the black-and-gold colors of the County of Veldenz and the red lion of Pfalz-Zweibrücken.

The arms lapsed with the abdication of King Ludwig III during the November revolution.
