Origin/meaning
The arms were proposed in 1956 and later adopted by the Bensheim council as village arms.
The oldest seal of the village dates from 1507 and shows the local patron saint, St. Nicholas. The second seal, known since 1622, shows the same saint, but now as a supporter behind the arms of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen (see image below). A third seal shows the same composition.
The arms show the lion of Katzenelnbogen and three golden coins for St. Nicholas.
