Origin/meaning
The arms are a combination of the Roman eagle, the chequered fess of the Cistercian Ordre and the crosses of the German War-grave Authority. The Roman imperial eagle stands for the fact that one of the northernmost Roman fortresses was situated near Arnsburg and, at the same time, is a canting symbol. The local monastery was founded in 1174 by Kuno of Arnsburg-Münzenberg, and the building was completed in 1197. It was one of the wealthiest monasteries in the area, and of architectural importance. The crosses symbolise the fact that war graves were found in a part of the monastery. The colours, finally, are the colours of the counts of Solms, who became owners of the area in 1802.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
