Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
DELKENHEIM
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Wiesbaden (until 1977 Main-Taunus Kreis)
Incorporated into : 1977 Wiesbaden
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms show an undefined symbol, which was used as a village symbol on border-stones since the middle of the 19th century.
Although Delkenheim received city rights from the Lords of Eppstein in 1320, it never developed into a city and did not have its own seal until the 17th century. This seal showed the apostles Judas and Simon, the local patron saints. Later seals placed the saints in a shield, but this composition was never used as true heraldic arms.
Literature : Hessisches Wappenbuch, 1956
