Origin/meaning

Krautheim received city rights in 1306 from the Counts of Eberstein. In the 14^th century the city was sold to the State of Mainz, to which the city belonged until 1802. The arms and the seals all showed the wheel of Mainz. From 1803-1898 the city used a trefoil in its arms, but the old arms were restored in 1898.
