Ketsch Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Argent a man statant, dressed Vert with collar Gules, boots Sable, a plumed hat Vert and an axe Sable with hilt Gules; at sinister Azure a triangle Or topped by a cross of the same and flanked by four 6-point stars of the same.
Meaning:
The old arms, adopted 1912, had been the nowadays sinister half, based on a local court seal from 1715, when Ketsch had been a dominion of the Bishopric of Speyer. The dexter half was added in 1957 and displays the village mayor Enderle of Ketsch (1558 - 1589), who was fighting for the rights of the local farmers and peasants.
