'''Stahlhofen''' is an ''Ortsgemeinde'' – a community belonging to a ''[[Verbandsgemeinde]]'' – in the [[Westerwaldkreis]] in [[Rhineland-Palatinate]], [[Germany]].

===Coat of arms===
The [[chapel]] in the community's [[Coat of arms|arms]] symbolizes the age-old ''Wendelinuskapelle'', which was replaced in the last century by the new building shown in the arms. The [[Tilia|linden]] trees standing next to the chapel, which can be seen far into the surrounding countryside, are Stahlhofen's main landmark. The [[basalt]] columns stand for the rich basalt deposits the municipal area. The arms’ basic [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]], silver, and the chapel's tincture, red, are from the coat of arms formerly borne by the [[Electorate of Trier]].
