Official blazon

In Grün aus einem silbernen Schild, darin der mit einem schwarzen Kreuzchen überhöhte unziale Großbuchstabe N, wachsend der silbern nimbierte heilige Sebastian, der in der Rechten zwei gestürzte schräg gekreuzte silberne Pfeile hält, beseitet oben rechts von einem roten Schild mit drei gesenkten silbernen Spitzen, oben links von einem goldenen Schild mit roten Schrägbalken.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 16, 1982.

St. Sebastian is the local patron saint and appeared on the 18th century seal of the village. The village historically was a possession of the Neustadt am Main Abbey within the State of Würzburg until 1803. From 1803-1819 the village belonged to Baden and from 1819 to Bayern.

The three small shields thus show the arms of the State of Würzburg (points), Baden (bend) and the Neustadt am Main abbey (letter N).
