Origin/meaning

The new arms were adopted on June 6, 1977 and replaced historical arms (no grant known).

The two towers symbolise the old parish church, which was destroyed in 1829. The wheel is derived from the arms of the State of Mainz, to which the city historically belonged until 1803. The wheel was also part of the arms of Johannisberg. The dragon in the base is taken from the arms of Stephanshausen.

Previously the city used arms of a similar design, but with two wheels, see below.

The towers appear for the first time on the seals of the city in the 15^th century. In the gate between the towers the double-wheel symbol of the State of Mainz was shown. In the 19^th century these two wheels were replaced by the Prussian eagle. At the end of the 19th century the original double wheel was separated into two wheels. These arms were used until 1977.

The colours are the colours of the State of Mainz. When the colours reverted from a red field with silver to a silver field with red, I do not know.
