Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1926 and are based on images on 16th and 17^th century border stones. These showed a goose and the letter G, the town's initial.

The goose may be a canting element (from Gans, pronounced in the local dialect). The colours are derived from the arms of the Lords of Isenburg, to which the area historically belonged.
