The arms of the city of Erfurt show a silver wheel in red; these are the arms of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] to which the city historically belonged until 1802. <br> | The arms of the city of Erfurt show a silver wheel in red; these are the arms of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] to which the city historically belonged until 1802. <br> | ||
The wheel appeared for the first time as symbol of the city since the early 15th century. The oldest images showed a wheel with eight spokes, but already in medieval times it was changed to the six spokes that are still used. | The wheel appeared for the first time as symbol of the city since the early 15th century.
