Wappen von Mehlingen/Arms (crest) of Mehlingen
Official blazon
German In Gold auf gewölbtem grünem Boden ein blaugekleideter Mann mit goldenen Schuhen und einer groBen blauen Zipfelmütze mit silbernem Rand und goldenem Bommel, in der Rechten einen silbernen Kolben tragend, die Linke in die Hüfte gestützt

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 14, 1969 and are identical to the previous arms, granted on March 7, 1935.

The arms are taken from a seal for the village taken from 1736. The man is derived from the crest of the arms of the Kolb von Wartenberg family. The stick is a canting element (Kolb) for the family.

Before 1935 the village already used the same arms, but in different colours. When the arms were granted in 1935, there was a lot of discussion on the colour of the stick, which traditionally was used in red, see above left, but it was granted in silver.
