LORSBACH
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Main-Taunus Kreis
Incorporated into : 1973 Hofheim am Taunus
 
Origin/meaning:
Both arms are derived from the only historical seal of the village, known since 1737. The knife is a typical knife used for cutting grapes, it thus symbolises the importance of viticulture in the area. The upper left arms are those proposed in 1956. The colour blue symbolises Nassau, silver Hessen, the two territories to which the village historically belonged. The upper right arms show the arms as currently used by the city of Hofheim for Lorsbach. Here the colours are those of Nassau only. The arms are never formally granted.
