The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from the late 16<sup>th</sup> century. The right half shows two fish in a river, making it a canting element (Fischbach=fish-stream). The left half shows the chevrons of the Lords of Eppstein, who ruled the village until 1581. In 1581 the village became part of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] and the second seal thus shows the wheel of Mainz instead of the chevrons. | The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from the late 16<sup>th</sup> century.
