Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ?-? -1971.
There are four different 17th and 18th century seals known of Elsoff, the oldest from the first quarter of the 17th century. All show the same design, a bishop holding a crosier and standing behind two small shields with a lion. The two shields are most likely the coats of arms of Nassau (as in two seals there are indications of the billets that are part of the Nassau arms), and of Hessen.
