coat of arms

Blazon : "In red a silver (white) harrow placed obliquely to the left, a six-pointed golden (yellow) star at the top right."

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms awarded by the Ministry of the Interior on January 10, 1958 is derived from a seal from 1747, which showed the harrow as a talking image. It is a symbol of agriculture, which shaped the place for centuries. The colors silver and red were chosen to commemorate the former affiliation to the Grafschaft Hohenberg , whose coat of arms was a shield divided by silver and red. To distinguish it from other municipal coats of arms with a harrow, the star was added as a symbol. It can also be interpreted as a symbol for Maria , the church patroness in Egesheim.

Natural monuments

Heidentor

• Heidentor , an early Celtic cult site, on which a fortified hilltop settlement probably existed during the older Bronze Age (approx. 1500-1300 BC) and the more recent Urnfield Age (approx. 10th-9th centuries BC). The natural gate-like rock formation just below the northern edge of the plateau, which gives the “Heidentor” its name, is particularly impressive. The Heidentor is located northwest of Egesheim on the ridge of the Oberburg and is a popular hiking destination.
• The natural monument Beilsteinhöhle near Egesheim was an important Paleolithic (10,000 BC) habitat in the area of ​​the Großer Heuberg . The name Beilsteinhöhle is derived from the stone ax heads found in the cave. Findings of stone, bone and ceramic implements made it possible for Stone Age people to use them until 2000 BC. Be proven.
• Burgruine Granegg also called Graneck or Michelstein , is the ruin of a rock castle on the castle rock 921 m above sea level. NN in Egesheim.

Economy and Infrastructure

According to the original plan, the Heubergbahn was to be built to Nusplingen and thus also to Egesheim. The railway was then only built as far as Reichenbach am Heuberg , almost three kilometers away , and shut down in 1966.

A poor, agricultural community became an industrial and workers' residential community. Agriculture is now only practiced as a sideline . Egesheim has a balanced commuter balance , which means that the same number of workers come to work from outside the community as Egesheimer earn their living outside the community. Egesheim has around 290 jobs.
