SCHWALBACH AM TAUNUS
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Main-Taunus Kreis
Official blazon
In Gold ein aufrechter schwarzer Schwalbenschwanz, darüber ein sechsstrahliger roter Stern.
Origin/meaning
The arms show a swallow's tail as a canting element (Schwalbe=swallow). The symbol already appeared on the borderstones in 1725 and a bit later in the local seals. The star was added in 1804. The arms were finally officially granted in 1953.
