Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1954 and show the castle of the Lords of Hainhausen. The castle is known since 1122, but the Lords of Hainhausen called themselves after 1185 Lords of Eppstein. The oldest known arms of Eppstein (which may also have been arms of the Lords of Hainhausen) are shown in front of the castle. The main colours are the colours of Mainz, as the village became in 1425 a possession of the Prince-Bishops of Mainz.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
