Official blazon
Über blauem Schildfuß, darin ein silberner Wellenbalken, in Blau der silbern gerüstete Heilige Georg mit Helm und Schwert, der dem aufgereckten grünen Lindwurm die goldene Fahnenlanze in den Rachen stößt; auf der silbernen Fahne ein fünfmal von Blau und Silber gespaltener Schild.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 29, 1557.
In the middle of the 16th century, Georg Ludwig v. Seinsheim fortified the town with a ditch and barriers. After the town received the right to hold a market in 1557, a wall with towers and gates was built. At the same time that the town became a market town, it received its arms showing St. George as the protector of knighthood and symbol of national peace and the stylised waves representing the town's position on the river Main.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
