EBERSTADT
State : Hessen
Urban District (Kreisfreie Stadt) : Darmstadt
Incorporated into : 1938 Darmstadt
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms show a canting boar (Eber), which was already shown on the oldest seal of the village, dating from the 16th century. All later seals also showed a boar. The arms were never officially granted, as the village became part of Darmstadt in 1937.
Literature : Hessisches Ortswappenbuch, 1956.
