ROMROD
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Vogelsbergkreis (until 1972 Alsfeld)
Additions : 1972 Nieder-Breidenbach, Ober-Breidenbach, Strebendorf, Zell
Official blazon
In Gold in der Mitte ein gemauerter schwarzer Balken mit aufgesetztem schwarzen Zinnenturm, unten ein teilweise auf den Balken aufgelegter blauer Schild mit einem golden bewehrten, neun Mal von Silber und Rot gestreiften Löwen.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 23, 1967.
The arms are a combination of the arms of the Lords of Romrod (a black castle in a golden shield) and the arms of Hessen. The Lords of Romrod ruled the city until 1358 when it became a possession of the counts of Hessen. The oldest seal of the city (known from 1553) shows a plain lion, later, 17th century, seals show the striped lion of Hessen. The colours are known since 1621.
