coat of arms

Coat of arms of Stahlhofen am Wiesensee
 Blazon : "Late Gothic round shield, split by a curved red tip, inside five golden three-leaf crosses set in a cross, a blue wavy bar in front in gold, inside a silver fish, behind in gold three green oak leaves."
Justification for the coat of arms: The green oak leaves represent the inherited forest "Eigenwald" of the communities Stahlhofen, Halbs and Hergenroth . The forest represents a special form of ownership. The property inherited from Westerburg is still owned by families from the communities today. The blue wave bar with the fish stands for the Wiesensee and the Seebach with the fish industry operated in them. The colors blue and gold create the connection to the Nassau house, to which Stahlhofen once belonged. The five golden crosses on a red background are taken from the coats of arms of the lower noble family of Heinrich von Stahlhofen, who had their headquarters in Stahlhofen. The color of the red tip refers to the Westerburg rule .
