Origin/meaning
When Reichelsheim received city rights is not known, in any case it was mentioned as a city in 1622. The seal from that year also shows arms, with in the upper part the lion of Nassau, as the town belonged to the Duchy of Nassau. The lower part showed an orb between two crosses. The orb (Reischsapfel) is canting, the crosses are the symbol for the district of Fulda, in which the city was situated. When Nassau became a part of Prussia in 1866, the lion was often removed.
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
The arms shown in 1956 |
The present arms were granted in 1960, in which the orb was replaced by two vine leaves, as viticulture is of great importance around the town.
