Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted on June 6, 1977.

The two towers symbolise the old parish church, which was destroyed in 1829. The wheel is derived from the arms of the State of Mainz, to which the city historically belonged until 1803. The wheel was also part of the arms of Johannisberg. The dragon in the base is taken from the arms of Stephanshausen. Previously the city used arms of a similar design, but with two wheels, see below.

The towers appear for the first time on the seals of the city in the 15th century. In the gate between the towers the double-wheel symbol of the State of Mainz was shown. In the 19th century the two wheels were separated into the present composition. The colours are the colours of the State of Mainz.
