The Wheel of Mainz or ''Mainzer Rad'', in German, was the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz and thus also of the Electorate of Mainz (Kurmainz), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It consists of a silver wheel with six spokes on a red background. The wheel can also be found in stonemasons' carvings (e.g. landmarks) and similar objects. Currently, the City of Mainz uses a double wheel connected by a silver cross. Origin The origins of the wheel are not known. One theory traces it back to Bishop Willigis, who was elected Archbishop of Mainz in 975. According to a tale delivered by the Brothers Grimm, his ancestors had been wheelwrights and his adversaries sneered at him for his mean birth.

However, this is not proven, and in any case coats of arms only appeared in the 12th century. Most of the archbishops of Mainz ...

It is spoken in Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall, Hohenlohekreis and what was formerly the Bad Mergentheim Landkreis (now in the Main-Tauber-Kreis), although the latter has recently been assumed into the Tauber-Franconian dialect group.

Two branches of the family were raised to the rank of principalities of the Holy Roman Empire in 1744 and 1764 respectively; in 1806 they lost their independence and their lands became part of the Kingdoms of Bavaria (Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst) and of Württemberg.
