In the mid 18<sup>th</sup> century the hook was also used on the local seals. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the letters HS were added on the local seal, but these were removed in 1912. <br/>The hook itself probably is a symbol for the fisheries in the rivers in the area. However, it has also been speculated that it is a misinterpretation of the arms of [[Eckartsweier]], as until the 18<sup>th</sup> century Hesselhurst was part of the Eckartsweier estate and court.
