ROTHENBUCH
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Aschaffenburg (until 1972 Lohr)
Official blazon
Geteilt von Gold und Rot; oben nebeneinander eine rote Buche und ein rotes Hirschgeweih, unten ein silbernes sechsspeichiges Rad
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 5, 1975.
The arms show in the upper half a red beech, which is a canting element (Rote Buche). The deer antler symbolises the historical hunting lodge of the Archbishops of Mainz in the village. The lower half shows the wheel of the State of Mainz, to which the village historically belonged until 1803.
