coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on March 23, 1959 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior.

Quotshausen's coat of arms
 Blazon : "Three silver mill wheels (2: 1) in red over a silver brook in the shield base."
Justification of the coat of arms: The former municipality had no old local or court seals that would have allowed an emblem that had been handed down from ancient times to be continued, so that it was necessary to choose another symbol that was characteristic of the village. Here, the fact arose that in the municipality, which lies on the water-rich Perf , several mills have been operated since ancient times , one of which is now the largest commercial operation in the place, whose products are widely known. The municipality has therefore decided to give expression to this branch of industry that is characteristic of it in the coat of arms and consequently to represent the mill by adopting three mill wheels in its coat of arms.

The design of the coat of arms was in the hands of the Bad Nauheim heraldist Heinz Ritt .

Infrastructure

Quotshausen has a village library in the village community center , a sports facility run by the shooting club and a former swimming pond that is now used as a fishing pond. There is also a half-timbered chapel for the Protestant parish and a parish hall.
