The arms are based on the oldest known seal, which dates from the mid 15<sup>th</sup> century. The seal showed an Archbishop of Mainz standing behind a wheel, the symbol of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]].

The arms were officially granted in 1952. | The arms are based on the oldest known seal, which dates from the mid 15<sup>th</sup> century.
