Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 8, 1966.

The arms show the large water mill wheel in the village in the Wetter river. The chevrons are taken from the Lords of Hanau, to whom the village historically belonged.

The previous arms were proposed in 1956:

Wappen von Schwalheim/Arms (crest) of Schwalheim

These arms are based on the oldest known seal of the town, dating from 1813. The lion is the lion of Hessen holding a small shield with the arms of the Counts of Hanau. Historically the town was a possession of the Counts of Hanau and was later acquired by Hessen-Kassel.
