Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1925 and are a combination of the lion of Nassau and a canting symbol (Tanne=pine tree). Dannenfels got city rights in 1331 from the counts of Oppenheim. In 1393 the city was inherited by the Nassau-Weilheim branch of the Nassau family.
The oldest known seal, dating from the late 17th century shows only the lion of Nassau. The tree was added in 1925.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
