===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms date from at least the 16<sup>th</sup> century, but were formally granted to the city borough of Biebrich by the Wiesbaden council in 1951. | |||
The oldest known seals of the combined towns of Biebrich and Mosbach date from between 1540 and 1600 and all show an (heraldic) beaver rising from a water and with a key in the base. A later seal, made around 1636, shows the beaver rising from water, but now with a fish in its mouth and in the upper (heraldic) left corner an acorn. Some other 18<sup>th</sup> century seals seem to show an trefoil instead of an acorn. | |||
The design was not very clear in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, the water in base was often changed into a wavy bar and the arms were shown with or without acorn. In 1906 the city adopted the design of the oldest seal, with the key in base. These arms remained official until 1926, but f.e. Hupp showed the early 20<sup>th</sup> century arms again in the Kaffee Hag albums (see images below). In 1951 the above arms were granted with the key now in the mouth of the beaver. | |||
The beaver is a canting symbol for Biebrich, the key the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the church in Mosbach. The meaning of the acorn/trefoil is not known. | |||
