The city's patron saints Aureus and Justinus are depicted. Aureus is the first bishop of Mainz known by name. The bones of Aureus and Justinus were brought to the town in 850, which was later given the name Heiligenstadt. In the St. Aegidian Church on the market, a relief and a reliquary commemorate the two martyrs.
