Origin/meaning
The arms were designed and granted in 1956.
The arms combine the wheel of the State of Mainz with the arms of the Lords of Eppstein. The wheel also appeared on the local seal from the 18th century. Klein Auheim belonged to the Lords of Eppstein until the Archbishops of Mainz acquired the village in the 15th century.
