Object history
Deutsch: Das von Otto Hupp entworfene Wappen entstammt einem Gerichtssiegel aus dem frühen 16. Jahrhundert. Die Löwen entstammen den Wappen der Wild- und Rheingrafen, welche im 14. Jahrhundert unter Lothringer Lehenhoheit alle Rechte über Kirn an sich zogen. Die Wolfsangeln (auch Wolfseisen oder Forsthaken genannt) stehen als Sinnbild für die Forstwirtschaft. Die Mauerkrone symbolisiert die 1857 verliehenen Stadtrechte.
English: The arms based on the oldest known seal of the city, which dates from the early 16th century. The lions are derived from the arms of the Waldgraves and the arms of the Counts of the Rhein, who ruled the town in the 14th century. The two wolf hooks symbolise the forestry, the mural crown the 1857 granted city rights.
