The arms were adopted on June 6, 1977. | The new arms were adopted on June 6, 1977 and replaced historical arms (no grant known). | ||
The two towers symbolise the old parish church, which was destroyed in 1829. The wheel is derived from the arms of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]], to which the city historically belonged until 1803. The wheel was also part of the arms of Johannisberg. The dragon in the base is taken from the arms of Stephanshausen. | |||
Previously the city used arms of a similar design, but with two wheels, see below. | |||
The towers appear for the first time on the seals of the city in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. In the gate between the towers the double-wheel symbol of the State of Mainz was shown. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the two wheels were separated into the present composition. The colours are the colours of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]]. | The towers appear for the first time on the seals of the city in the 15<sup>th</sup> century.
