The Coat of Arms
"The coat of arms of Seelbach, a district of Herborn, shows on a blue field, above a golden wavy bar at
the base of the shield, a golden shield bearing three black water lily leaves arranged as a trefoil."
The aim was to show important elements of Seelbach's topography and early history in the symbolic language of heraldry.
The wavy bar is meant to hint at the importance of the streams for Seelbach's settlement history (the Seelbach, the Monzenbach, the Dernbach and, not least, the Aar).
The water lily leaves in a trefoil arrangement were carried in their arms not only by the lords of Dernbach and the families joined to them through shared inheritance, but also by the nobles of Haiger. The Dernbach coat of arms is first recorded on a seal impression from 1249.
