coat of arms

Coat of arms of Uelversheim
 Blazon : “The coat of arms is divided. Above, in silver, the half-figure of Saint Martinus looking to the left (heraldic), who shares a red cloak with the sword. Below, in blue, a silver eagle armored in red. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The depiction of the local church patron St. Martin on horseback, who shares his cloak for a beggar at his feet, can probably be traced back to local court seals. For example, the imprint of a court seal from Uelversheim from 1511 can be viewed in the Marburg State Archives. The inscription reads: "S. Martinus of the court at Ilbersham ”. - The eagle is taken from the family coat of arms of the Counts of Leiningen .
