Main-Taunus County Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per fess into red over silver (= white). Above is a silver (= white) wheel with six spokes. Below the field is divided by three red chevrons.
Meaning:
The chevrons had been the arms of the of the Königstein branch of the Lords of Eppstein, who died out in 1535. The wheel is alluding to the Bishopric of Mainz, which overtook most parts of the territory of Eppstein, which had been under direct imperial rule before.

Flag and banner were approved on 30 January 1956. The coat of arms was approved on 19 June 1950.
