urch eine gesenkte eingeschweifte rote Spitze, darin ein silberner Henkelkorb, gespalten; vorne siebenmal geteilt von Blau und Silber, belegt mit einem schräglinken, gebogenen roten Rautenkranz, hinten siebenmal geteilt von Gold und Schwarz, belegt mit einem schrägen, gebogenen roten Rautenkranz.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 10, 1981.
The base shows a basket, a symbol for the historical tradition of basket weaving in the municipality. The upper half combines the arms of the Lords of Redwitz and the Dukes of Sachsen-Coburg. The first owned most of the villages of Schneckenlohe and Beikheim, the latter in Mödlitz. The arms were slightly changed, the bend in the Redwitz arms was changed into the leaf-crown of Sachsen and the colour of the Sachsen leaf-crown was changed into red for a heraldically more acceptable combination.
