Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, two 8-spokes wheels Gules in bend, connected by a crosslet patty Gules.
Meaning:
The arms are those of the city of Mainz in counterchanged colours. Fritzlar belonged to the Archbishopric of Mainz and the oldest seals from the early 12th century display the patron saint of Mainz, St. Martin. In 1227 the saint was replaced by a picture of the bishop himself, since 1265 flanked by two towers. The seals also contained cadency marks: a sun and a crescent. In 1309 these changed into a demi wheel and a crescent and became the only figures in the small seal from 1309. In the 14th century arms with the two wheels in pale ornamented a city gate. The current pattern with the wheels in bend became primordial in the 15th century.
