Elsoff became a possession of the counts of Nassau in 1337 and in 1479 of Hessen. From 1557-1803 it was jointly ruled by Nassau and Hessen, explaining the two shields.On two seals the bishop is also holding a sword. This may be an indication that the bishop may represent both patron saints of the local church (St.Peter as bishop, St. Paul with the sword). In 1956 the above arms were designed with only the crosier and sword for the two saints in the main colours of Nassau and Hessen. These arms were granted in 1971. | Elsoff became a possession of the counts of Nassau in 1337 and in 1479 of Hessen.
