Shield Azure a beehive or surrounded by five bees respectant of the same.
Meaning:
Nastätten was mentioned as a market town in the 19th century and as a little city in the 18th century. It became seat of a district (German: Amt) of the Dukes of Nassau in 1816 and a city in 1817. The tinctures are those of the dukes and the beehive is symbolising the diligence of the inhabitants, based on crafts and agriculture. Former court seals from the 16th century only displayed the barry lion of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt and the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel. The city belonged to the former since 1479 and to the latter since 1648. Literature in the 19th century erroneously displayed the lion guardant of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen.

It is the connection of the village with Lautert and Oberwallmenach. The twig is alluding to the location of the village in a beech grove.

Meaning:
The village had been a possession of the Counts fo Katzenelnbogen, who granted city rights on 7 October 1364. The city was acquired by the Landgraviate of Hessen in 1479.

After the city was ceded to the Duchy of Nassau in 1816, the city used only seals with inscriptions only. The tinctures were added later, being those of the landgraviate.
