Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1978.

The upper half shows the Rose of Luther, derived from the arms of Dudenhofen. The lower half shows the wheel of the State of Mainz, derived from the arms of Nieder-Roden. The wavy bend symbolises the Rodau stream, that runs through the municipality. The five stars represent the five former municipalities.
