Edingen-Neckarhausen Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent a facetted cross fitchy Gules, a sinister Sable a lion rampant Or armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The arms combine elements from the Imperial Abbey of Lorsch (cross) and the Palatinate (lion). Edingen had been a dominion of the Palatinate since the 12th century. Before it had been a dominion of the Imperial Abbey and later of the Bishopric of Worms. The abbey also had possessions in Neckarhausen, which had been a condominion of the bishopric and the Palatinate from 1385 until 1707. The former arms of Edingen displayed St. Martin and the beggar. The former arms of Neckarhausen combined the arms of the Palatine Counts with the key of Worms.

Edingen Coat of Arms

Shield Azure with Vert, St. Martin armed Or, dividing his coat Gules by a sword Or, riding on a horse passant Argent bridled Gules, in front of both a kneeling beggar dressed Gules.
Meaning:
The pattern of St. Martin and the beggar is originated from the 16th century and appeared on local court seals since 1616. St. Martin had been the local patron saint since 1494. Later on, when a new church had been built, St. Martin was replaced in the 2nd court seal from 1763 by the new patron saint, St. George, killing the dragon. This pattern was also displayed in the arms from 1798. On boundary stones however there had been simply an Imperial Globe. The pattern displaying St. Martin, was restored on arms and seals since 1900.
