Origin/meaning
The arms show in the right half the arms of the Lords of Daun-Oberstien, who owne dthe COunty Falkenstein, to which part of the village belonged. The left half shoes a rose, symbol for the Rosenthal Abbey, which owned the other half of the village.
In the early 20th century the arms were shown in the Kaffee Hag albums in slightly different colours. These arms were, however, mistakenly mentioned as Hillesheim (Eifel) instead of Hillesheim (Rheinhessen).
During the years the colour of the rose has varied considerably as can be seen below.
