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 17th century and shows only the letter K. In the late 19th 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.
