The coat of arms was approved in December 1979 by the State Archive in Darmstadt, and was given its form by Bad Nauheim heraldic artist Heinz Ritt after the community’s guidelines. The ten dolmens symbolize the ten formerly self-administering communities, and the sides (stripes down each side) and the fess (horizontal stripe) form a red uppercase H, the new (in 1972) greater community’s initial letter. The H’s crossbar also stands for the "Hühnerstraße" (road), which splits the community into four constituent communities on one side and six on the other.
