HOLZHAUSEN AN DER HAIDE
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Rhein-Lahn Kreis (until 1969 Loreleykreis)
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Nastätten
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the oldest and only seal of the village, dating from 1790. The seal shows the barred lion of Hessen and a six-pointed star. The meaning of the star is not known, it is most likely a simple symbol to distinguish the arms of the village from those of Hessen. The village was a possession of the Counts of Hessen since 1479.
Literature : Hessisches Wappenbuch, 1956
