Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
ERFELDEN
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Gross-Gerau
Incorporated into : 1977 Riedstadt
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1925.
The arms are derived from the two historical seals of the village; the oldest dating from 1599, the second from the 19th century. Unfortunately, the meaning of the symbols on the seals is not known. The colours, chosen in 1925, were of no historical meaning, but were chosen on the basis of aesthetics.
Literature : Hessisches Ortswappenbuch, 1956.
