===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The arms were granted in 1926 and show the old village sign, a so-called wolf's iron. The meaning or origin of the stars is not known. The combination first appears on the local seal from the 16<sup>th</sup> century. In the 17<sup>th</sup> century the composition appears in the seals under the lion of Hessen, as the town belonged to Hessen. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the stars were sometimes shown as golden, instead of silver | The arms were granted in 1926 and show the old village sign, a so-called wolf's iron.

Even tough Rüsselsheim received city rights in 1437 and 1493, the town never developed into a proper city, and it did not adopt a seal of arms until the 16<sup>th</sup> century. | |||

IN 1867 rather different arms were proposed/shown for the city, see below. | |||
