Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 30, 1971.
The tower in the arms is taken from the old seal of the village. The arms are basically canting (Burg = tower/castle, Holz is wood) and also refer to the castle of the Lords of Holzhausen.
In 1956 some arms for Burgholzhausen were already proposed, a tower with a linden tree rising from the tower :
In the new arms of Friedrichsdorf the tower is added as the symbol for Burgholzhausen.
