Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1956.
The arms are a combination of the arms of the counts of Isenburg (upper part, see Neu-Isenburg) and the swan, which was the crest of the counts of Hanau. In the 17th century both families ruled over Münster. The arms are based on a seal from 1683, in which the two arms were quartered.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
