Bensheim was first mentioned as a city in 1318 and belonged to the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] until 1802. The oldest seal dates from the late 14<sup>th</sup> century and, like all other seals, it showed the Archbishop of Mainz on a throne, often with a small shield with the wheel of Mainz, or with parts of the wheel without a shield. In the early 19<sup>th</sup> century when the city became part of Mainz, the new seal showed the striped lion of Hessen, holding a small shield with the Archbishop. | Bensheim was first mentioned as a city in 1318 and belonged to the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] until 1802.

Origin/meaningBensheim was first mentioned as a city in 1318 and belonged to the State of Mainz until 1802. The oldest seal dates from the late 14th century and, like all other seals, it showed the Archbishop of Mainz on a throne, often with a small shield with the wheel of Mainz, or with parts of the wheel without a shield. In the early 19th century when the city became part of Mainz, the new seal showed the striped lion of Hessen, holding a small shield with the Archbishop. In the meantime the city used since the early 17th century separate arms. The arms were used on documents and decorations in the city, and showed the local patron saint, St. George killing the dragon. This composition was officially granted as the city's coat of arms in 1929. If this text appears, it means that background information is available, but that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [|mail me with the name of the town in the subject !] and I will add all information that I have !
