Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1926 and show the old village sign, a so-called wolf's iron. The meaning or origin of the stars is not known. The combination first appears on the local seal from the 16^th century. In the 17^th century the composition appears in the seals under the lion of Hessen, as the town belonged to Hessen. In the 19^th century the stars were sometimes shown as golden, instead of silver.

Even tough Rüsselsheim received city rights in 1437 and 1493, the town never developed into a proper city, and it did not adopt a seal of arms until the 16^th century.

IN 1867 rather different arms were proposed/shown for the city, see below.
