Coat of arms and logo
Coat of arms of the Verbandsgemeinde
The coat of arms of the Nieder-Olm community consists of a shield divided into twenty red and silver. At the top right is a six-spoke silver wheel in red, at the top left in silver a red anchor cross, at the bottom right in gold a double-headed black red-armored eagle and at the bottom left in black a soaring golden red-armored lion.
The coat of arms of the Verbandsgemeinde Nieder-Olm thus combines the essential representations of the coats of arms of its eight communities. The cross appears in different forms in the coats of arms of Nieder-Olm, Ober-Olm, Klein-Winternheim and Sörgenloch. The Kurmainzer Rad can be found in the coats of arms of Klein-Winternheim, Nieder-Olm, Ober-Olm and Zornheim, the Electoral Palatinate lion in an old seal from Stadecken and the imperial eagle in the coat of arms of Elsheim and in an old seal from Stadecken. The anchor cross is finally taken from the coat of arms of Nieder-Olm. The coats of arms of the individual communities belonging to the Verbandsgemeinde go back to old court seals or emphasize the historical past.
The most important local and landlord before the French Revolution was undoubtedly Kurmainz in the area of today's Verbandsgemeinde . That is why the Mainz wheel occupies the most elegant place in the coat of arms at the top right and the Kurmainzischen colors red and silver are included in the shield border.
Logo of the association
In addition to the coat of arms, the Nieder-Olm community has also used a special logo since 2007 . This consists of the stylized letters V and G in two soft shades of green as well as an indicated yellow half sun above and a blue sickle-shaped triangle below. Finally, under the logo, the word “Verbandsgemeinde” can be read in gray and under it again “Nieder-Olm” in blue.
The color design of the logo should reflect the color tones prevalent in the Nieder-Olm community. The yellow stands for the sun as one of the most important ingredients for local viticulture . As a result, the green tones symbolize the numerous vineyards. Blue is synonymous with the Selz .
town hall
The town hall of Nieder-Olm is located at 110 Pariser Strasse in Nieder-Olm. It is also the seat of the municipal administration with its citizens' office. In addition, the city of Nieder-Olm and its mayor have chosen their town hall seat in the same building.
In addition, psychosocial counseling center is railing located at the same address and the Abwasserzweckverband Lower Selz (AVUS) is represented with a branch office. Finally, there is a branch of the Mainzer Volksbank on the ground floor .
The building was erected in 1978 in the center of Nieder-Olm. At the beginning of the 1990s, an additional annex was added. In 2009 it was finally given a new color scheme by the German designer Friedrich-Ernst von Garnier . The concrete parts, now in shades of brown from the Rhine Hesse region, were previously kept in white.
Partnerships
The association community has maintained a partnership with the Polish community of Głuchołazy since 1996 . A regular exchange takes place as part of annual citizens' trips. These are organized and coordinated from the German side by the partnership committee in cooperation with the municipal administration.

Nine nature reserves with an area of around 163 hectares are located on the Selz, in whole or in part within the district of the VG. They serve to maintain or restore the natural water dynamics of the largely renatured lowland stream and its valley floodplain structure with reed beds, wet meadows and softwood floodplains as an important breeding and resting area for birds. The areas belong to the European bird sanctuary Selztal between Hahnheim and Ingelheim .
With 351 hectares in the area of the VG, the Ober-Olmer-Wald is the second largest forest area in the poorly forested Rheinhessen.

In addition to landscape protection areas such as the Jugenheimer Wäldchen and the Wäldchen im Loh , there are three groups of trees in the VG in Ober-Olm and Klein-Winternheim, which are designated as natural monuments . The compensation area Am Wingertsweg from Klein-Winternheim was awarded several prizes .
