Coat of Arms

Shield quartered, 1st and 4th quarter Or three chevrons Gules, 2nd and 3rd quarter Argent two lions passant guardant, or leopards passant, Sable tongued Gules and set in pale.
Meaning:
In 1295 Babenhausen gained some privileges of a city and got its oldest seal around 1310. The chevrons are taken from the arms of the Lords of Hanau. The leopards are taken from the arms of the Lords of Hohenlohe. Babenhausen became a possession of Ulrich von Hanau in 1310 as a wedding present from his wife Agnes von Hohenlohe. Until 1736 the city was seat of a subcounty and since 1458 the residence of the parts of County Hanau-Lichtenberg on the Eastern bank of the Rhine.
