History


In 767, Sprendlingen had its first documentary mention in a record from the Lorsch Abbey. King Charles the Bald donated the village in 877 to the Monastery of Saint Gertrude at Nivelles in Brabant. In later times, the place ended up in the ownership of the County of Sponheim. In 1707, Sprendlingen became a Badish holding and formed an Amt of the Margraviate of Baden.

In the late 18th century, Sprendlingen was conquered by the French. At the Congress of Vienna, the whole region was awarded to Prussia, forming its Rhine Province.


Politics


The council consists of 20 Sprendlingen Council members in the local elections on 7 June 2009 and the honorary mayor as chairman .


Coat of arms


The municipality's arms might be described thus: Gules a fess counter compony of seven azure and Or, in chief a mullet of six per fess and in base another per pale, both of the last.

The municipality's oldest known seal dates from the 15th century and yielded the current arms. The fess counter compony (that is, the horizontal stripe with a two-row chequered pattern) is the arms once borne by the Counts of Sponheim. The two mullets of six (six-pointed star shapes) were apparently added to distinguish the municipality's arms from the noble family's. Otherwise, their meaning is unknown.[3]
