It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Birkenfeld, whose seat is in the like-named town. The village is known for its mineral springs. GeographyLocationThe municipality lies on the Schwollbach at the edge of the Schwarzwälder Hochwald (forest). This part of the Hochwald is the southwestern part of the Hunsrück. The municipal area is 63% wooded. The mineral water that comes from the springs is bottled by two companies. Neighbouring municipalitiesSchwollen borders in the northeast on the municipality of Leisel, in the east on the municipality of Wilzenberg-Hußweiler, in the south on the municipality of Niederhambach, in the southwest on the municipality of Hattgenstein and in the northwest on the municipality of Allenbach. HistorySchwollen formerly belonged to the “Hinder” County of Sponheim. PoliticsMunicipal councilThe council is made up of 8 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.[1] MayorSchwollen’s mayor is Horst Hahnefeld, and his deputies are Willi Welker and Freimut Theiß.[2] Coat of armsThe German blazon reads: {{lang|de|In geteiltem Schild oben in Grün ein silberner Schalenbrunnen mit geteiltem silbernen Wasserstrahl, unten rot-silbern geschacht.}} The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess vert a fountain with a basin, the stream falling to both sinister and dexter, argent, and chequy gules and argent. The fountain in the upper field stands for the many mineral springs that lie within the municipality’s limits, while the field tincture, vert (green), stands for Schwollen’s wealth of woodland. The “chequy” pattern in the lower field is a reference to the village’s former allegiance to the “Hinder” County of Sponheim. The arms have been borne since 24 March 1965.[3] Culture and sightseeingBuildingsThe following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural Monuments:[4]
