Official blazon

English	blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

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.

In former times the partition line was covered by a bar, on which were placed silver balls. This was supposedly derived from the arms of the oldest Lords of Darmstadt (13-15^th century). In 1479 the town and surrounding area, being part of Katzenelnbogen, became part of Hessen.

The present arms were granted in 1917 and the colours were based on those on a stone dating from the 15^th century. Currently the city uses again the crown on the shield, but for every day purposes the crown is omitted.
