Városlőd
(The County of Veszprém)
The arms described as follows was created in 1990, on the 750-th anniversary of first (provable) reference to the name of Városlőd. The elements of the arms refer to both the two periods in the history of the village (before the Ottoman rule and after the resettlement).
The arms forms a shield with a thin go-round glaucous border. Meaning: the village is located in a protected valley (once was called St. Michael Valley) surrounded by meadows and forests, that are rich in spas.
The arms is divided in the middle by a blue wavy band. It means partly the Torna Creek, that runs through the village, and refers to the Aubach Valley, the place some families come from during the resettlement in the 18-th century.
The arms consists of four fields, their colours are yellow and crimson. Yellow stands for ripe grain, bread and life. Crimson, the colour of dawn and resumption refers to the fact, that many nations (Avars, Slavs, Hungarians, Germans) built up a settlement on the ruins of the former one or near them in this valley.
Upper field on the left:
A white plate on yellow base, that is decorated with two fish opposite each other. The plate refers to the maijolica-factory well-known even out of our borders. The two fish on it stand for Karthausian monks, their past monastery and the fish-ponds belonging to it.
Upper field on the right:
A pen and a blow-pipe on crimson base. The pen indicates copying codices, one of the monks' important activities. The blow-pipe refers to the glasshouse of Pille, founded around 1715.
Lower field on the left:
A ploughshare with a coulter and five ears of corn. These together indicate agriculture, one of the main activities of our ancestors. These symbols can be seen on the oldest existing seal of our village.
Lower field on the right:
An oak leaf with two acorns on yellow base. Once our village was surrounded by big forests making possible to start the glasshouse, making wooden instruments and masting. Since we have mostly beeches in our surrounding forest the mentioned oak leaf also refers to the Spessart Forests, the homeland of the population resettled here in the beginning of the 18-th century.
