coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on June 5, 1954 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior.

Breidenstein coat of arms
 Blazon : "In the split shield in front in the black field three golden clovers one below the other and in the back in the golden field a black wolf tang , which approximates the shape of a large B."
Justification of the coat of arms: “A coat of arms of the community of Breidenstein has not survived, although the place received city ​​rights from King Wenzel in 1398 , which it retained until the end of the last century. However, since the town charter was usually associated with the right to have a coat of arms, it can be assumed that the place had such a coat of arms in earlier times, even if it is no longer known to us, so that the community's desire for its own coat of arms is definitely is justified. The history of the town is closely connected with the history of the local noble family of the Barons von Breidenbach zu Breidenstein , and as a result, the concern of the community was entitled to visualize their own coat of arms with the coat of arms of the Lords of Breidenbach zu Breidenstein. On this basis, the State Archives have made the proposal detailed in the attached sample, which shows three clovers in front and a wolf tang that approximates the shape of a large B. In this way, the municipality receives a coat of arms that not only uses the colors of the coat of arms of the Lords of Breidenbach zu Breidenstein, but also takes over the two symbols, the clovers and the wolfsangel, but at the same time changes them in such a way that the coat of arms of the Lords of Breidenbach zu Breidenstein cannot be identified with it. Due to the B-shaped wolf tang, the community also has a talking picture in the form of a memorandum that represents the first letter of the town's coat of arms. The characteristic coat of arms formed in this way was produced by the heraldist of the State Archives under his supervision and is image-wise perfect. "(Expert opinion of April 22, 1954, Hessisches Hauptstaatsarchiv Wiesbaden)

At the height of the upper end of the Perfstausees; A timber loading point was set up near the junction of the B 253 federal road to Wiesenbach . From there, the wood is transported in large quantities by freight train - from Wallau on the Upper Lahn Valley Railway - to sawmills to be processed.
