Origin/meaning

The arms show an undefined symbol, which was used as a village symbol on border-stones since the middle of the 19th century.
Although Delkenheim received city rights from the Lords of Eppstein in 1320, it never developed into a city and did not have its own seal until the 17th century. This seal showed the apostles Judas and Simon, the local patron saints. Later seals placed the saints in a shield, but this composition was never used as true heraldic arms.
