The oak tree in the arms is derived from the historical Dreieich (three-oaks) district. The oak appears already in the oldest seal of the city, known since 1639.

Still sometimes the arms were shown in more natural colours, see below. | The oak tree in the arms is derived from the historical Dreieich (three-oaks) district.
