Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 15, 1953.

The arms show a bunch of grapes and a beehive. The grapes are a symbol for the importance of viticulture for the area. The oldest known seal of Korb dates from the late 17^th century and shows only the letter K. In the late 19^th century the grapes appear on the local seals, first alone, later placed in a shield. To distinguish the arms from many other arms with grapes, the beehive (Bienenkorb) was added as a canting symbol.

The municipal stamp shown in 1892

Literature: Peters, 1974
