The arms of Darmstadt are based on the old seals of the city, which already showed a lion and a fleur-de-lis. The lion is the lion of the counts of [[Katzenelnbogen]]. The fleur-de-lis is a very common symbol for towns and villages in this former county. On top of the shield the Grand-Ducal coronet of Hessen may be placed. | The arms of Darmstadt are based on the old seals of the city, which already showed a lion and a fleur-de-lis.
