history

The presumably first, but unconfirmed, mention of Arzheim comes from the year 868. However, the area of ​​the Arzheim district was already settled before the birth of Christ , which is proven by grave finds. Around the year 1000, the builder of Ehrenbreitstein Castle is said to have donated his farm in Arzheim to the St. Kastor monastery .

Then begins an eventful history that brings the farms and economic goods and later the village changing lords, including Hermann V. von Helfenstein and his wife Anna von Boos von Waldeck . Arzheim belonged to the family fief of the von Helfenstein family from 1300 to 1581 . During this time, today's center of Arzheim developed, which was initially around the Romanesque parish church of St. Aldegundis from around 1000. After the destruction by French troops in 1678, the place north of the church was rebuilt.

With construction of the fortress Koblenz by the early 19th century Prussia was Arzheim in the second Rayon of forts Asterstein . Thus, only half-timbered houses were allowed to be built in the place . From 1866 the Arzheimer Schanze was built on the western approach , which was completely razed in 1927 .

The place was named Arzheym as early as 1300. Until 1803 he belonged to the Electoral Trier office of Ehrenbreitstein and was assigned to the Duchy of Nassau in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . After the region was taken over by the Kingdom of Prussia (1815), Arzheim was assigned to the mayor's office of Ehrenbreitstein . After Ehrenbreitstein was incorporated into Koblenz in 1937, Arzheim came to the Vallendar office . Arzheim was dissolved as an independent municipality in the Koblenz district by the “ 9th State Law on Administrative Simplification” and incorporated into the city of Koblenz on November 7, 1970 with the settlement agreement of November 2, 1970.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Koblenz-Arzheim
 Blazon : “The coat of arms is shown as a triangular shield. It has a black shield head (crossbar) and is divided by a black shield main strip post (Frankenpfahl) that extends to the base of the shield.

The following family coats of arms are placed in the fields of the divided triangular shield with a black border:

  • Coat of arms field in front / left: Coat of arms Hermann V. von Helfenstein
  • above: in gold a red-brown armored and blue crowned lion with blue claws.
  • below: nine golden lilies in blue.
  • Back / right coat of arms: Anna von Boos von Waldeck's coat of arms, three golden diamond-shaped belt buckles lined up diagonally to the left, topped with a silver tournament collar (neck bridge). "
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms in the form of a divided triangular shield with the head of the shield and the Franconian post is derived from a seal from 1406 that has been preserved. In this seal is the portrait of the parish patron saint, St. Aldegundis depicted. The fields of the divided triangular sign were previously empty.

Following on from the more than 1000-year history of the village of Arzheim, which was independent until 1970, the coats of arms inserted in front / left and back / right remind of the former village lord, Hermann V. von Helfenstein and his wife Anna von Boos von Waldeck, the one in the middle of the 15th century in and around Arzheim exercised the basic rights and sovereignty (high jurisdiction).
