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.
