BURGSOLMS
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Lahn-Dill Kreis (until 1973 Wetzlar)
Incorporated into : 1971 Solms
| German | blazon wanted |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were devised and granted in 1960.
The arms show the lion of Solms and a brick wall. Around 1100 the Counts of Solms built a watermill in the village. The village took the name of the Counts, who also built a castle in the village. After the extinction of the dynasty in the 15th century the castle and mill became ruins. The castle and mill are shown as a brick wall, which is rather unique in German heraldry, where most often a building is shown.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
