===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The arms were aooficially adopted by the Wiesbaden council in 1951 for the former municipality. | |||
The arms are based on the oldest seal of the village (known from 1637-1736), which show the local patron saint, St. Nicholas, holding a crosier in his right hand a nd three balls in his left. In a later seal, from 1797, the saint has become a normal man holding a crosier. This was also used during the 19th century by the village council. | |||
To simplify the arms it was decided in 1951 using only (part of) the crosier instead of the saint. The colours were chosen arbitrarily. | |||
