Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen ist abgeleitet von einem Siegel aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Der geschachte Sparren ist eine Wappenvariante des Wappens der Grafen von Sponheim, Vordere Grafschaft, welche Kirchberg 1259 Stadtrechte gaben. Die Bedeutung der Krone ist unklar; möglicherweise verweist auf die Reichstreue der Sponheimer. Die Krone kommt u. a. in den Wappen von Kastellaun und Sohren vor.
English: The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, which is known since the 14th century. The chequy chevron is taken from the arms of the Counts of Sponheim, Lower County, who ruled the area at the time and who granted the city rights. The meaning of the crown is not clear, it may be a symbol of the importance of the Counts of Sponheim in the German empire; the crown is also shown in the arms of Kastellaun and Sohren.
