Origin/meaning
The arms show St. Martin, the patron saint of the town and the arms of the State of Mainz.
Bingen became a city in the early 13th century and the oldest seal of the city, shows St. Martin sitting on a throne like a bishop. This is an identical seal as several other cities in the State of Mainz (see Miltenberg and Aschaffenburg).
Later seals show St. Martin in the more common way, as a knight cutting his coat for a beggar. Not always was St. Martin shown on the arms, sometimes only the wheel of Mainz was used.
Seal from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
The arms in the Continentale Verlags-Anstalt album, +/- 1910 |
The arms in the Abadie albums |
