MARKT EINERSHEIM

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

Einersheim probably received town (Markt) rights in 1542. The oldest seal of the town dates from that year and it already shows the above arms. The origin and exact type of the fruits is not known. Most often they are shown as rosehips, but also poppy seeds have been mentioned.

On March 6, 1847 the arms were officially granted and described as fruits of the Hiften (Rosa canina), the dogrose.
