Coat of Arms

Shield Azure with base wavy Argent, sailing on base an ancient ship Or, rigged Or and flagged red-white. The main sail is charged with black initials "FFF". The flag upon stern is red charged with a white 6-spokes wheel.
Meaning:
The oldest court seal from the 15th century displays St. Martin and the beggar, the patron saint of the State of Mainz. Later seals show a bishop on a throne, most likely the bishop of Mainz, as the town belonged to Mainz. In the 18th century a steering wheel was used as a village symbol on boundary stones and the like. In 1816 a ship was used as a symbol for shipping on Main River. The ship was transformed in a large 17th century (sea-)ship in the beginning of the 20th century and the three letters F were added in 1930. The letters stand for Flörsheimer-Fayence-Fabrik, a factory opened in 1765. Flörsheim gained city rights in 1953.
The arms were approved in 1951.
