Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 23, 1908, changed on March 22, 1971 and again on July 3, 1972.
Steinheim received city rights in 1275 from Simon I, Bishop of Paderborn. The oldest seal is known from the 15th century and shows a wall with three towers. All later seals and images used the wall and towers, although sometimes with a gate.
The design was granted as arms in 1908.
After the mergers in 1970 new arms were granted. These arms also showed the gate, but now with a green chief. The chief was added to distinguish the arms of the old municipality from those of the new municipality. The city council, however, did not like the green chief and the arms were already changed after one year.
