Bechtheim Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a bear rampant Argent, armed, tongued and collared Gules, holding a staff Or in pale by his forepaws.
Meaning:
Bechtheim had been a possession of the Counts of Leiningen. The oldest local court seal displayed a bear passant putting a pear into his mouth. The pear was replaced by the collar and later the staff was added, in order to depict the animal as a dancing bear. The name is derived from "home of the bear" and the arms thus are considered to be canting. The appearance of the bear frequently changed in details. So did the tinctures. The current tinctures are those of the counts.
