Ingelheim Coat of Arms

Shield Argent an eagle Sable armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
In 1938 the rural towns of Niederingelheim and Oberingelheim and the municipality of Frei-Weinheim merged and the product was upgraded to a city. An eagle bearing a crown upon his breast already appeared in the 14th century on a seal of the local imperial court of justice and on older seals of both rural towns, which had been under direct imperial rule. The arms of Oberingelheim displayed the eagle on a golden background since 1508. The arms of Niederingelheim from the 16th century displayed an eagle issuant from an embattled red wall on a silver background.
