+===Origin/meaning===
+The present arms, which were granted in 1909, are based on an old roof-tile of the local church dating from 1775. On this tile the arms were painted.
+The oldest seals of the town showed St. Martin as the patron saint combined with the arms of the diocese of Mainz, to which the village belonged.

+The original village sign probably was a cross, as a cross was also used on borderstones and buildings. Whether the main cross, or the cross in the first quarter is derived from the village sign is not clear. The cross can also refer to the diocese of Mainz, to which the village historically belonged.
-====Official blazon====
+The anchor symbolises the sailing on the Main, Hochheim was an important harbour.
-====Origin/meaning====
+The meaning of the star is not known, but a local story exist describing the star as a Schröter-Star. Schröter were the wine carriers, who carried wine from cellar to cellar and to and from the ships in the harbour. According to the legend a large star-shaped wheel and strong rope were used locally by the carries to lift and carry the wine barrels. The star-shaped wheel became their symbol and thus a star was placed in the arms.
-The oldest seals of the town showed St. Martin as the patron saint combined with the arms of the diocese of Mainz, to which the village belonged. The present arms, which were granted in 1908, are based on an old roof-tile dating from 1775. On this tile the arms were painted. The original village sign probably was the cross. The anchor symbolises the sailing on the Main, the hook is a tool used in wine making and the star is a kind of pointed wheel, used for hauling wine barrels.
+The hook is a tool used in wine making and thus symbolises further the importance of viticulture in the area.
