Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale of Sable and Argent.
Meaning:
Since the armourial of Wessel (1621), based on Rotenburg paintings (on the city hall?) of 1577 the arms are known as either black and silver or red and silver. The arms are those of the oldest Lords of Battenberg. The oldest seals of the city from 1238 displayed a tower flanked half length portraits of the Count of Battenberg and the Archbishop of Mainz, who ruled the city in condominion. When Mainz acquired the full rights in 1291 in the beginning the seals showed the archbishop alone. All later seals from 1326 til the 18th century displayed the wheel of Mainz, even after the end of the rule of the archbishops in 1583. In the late 19th century Otto Hupp misinterpreted the situation and mentioned the wheel as city arms.
