Pirmasens county was renamed to Südwestpfalz with effect of 1 January 1997.

Stefan Schwoon, 22 October 2001

From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on 20 December 1972. The county historically belonged to the Pfalz and to the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg. This is symbolised in the arms with the lion of the Pfalz and the chevrons of Hanau.

Literature: Linder and Olzog 1996.
