In silbernem Feld ein roter Balken, darüber im oberen silbernen Feld ein nach heraldisch rechts schreitender schwarzer, rotbezungter Löwe, darunter im unteren silbernen Feld ein schwarzes Lindenblatt. Origin/meaning The arms were officially granted on February 16, 1954. The arms were designed in 1954 as no older arms existed for the muniipality. The lion is the lion of the Stauffen family, as the village probably was part of the properties of the Dukes of Staufen in the 11th century. A Diepold von Schlechbach was mentioned as a knight of Emperor Barbarossa of the Staufen dynasty.The red bar is taken from the seal of the Lords of Waldenstein, who owned the village in late medieval times. As no colours were known, the red colour was chosen arbitrarily.The linden leaf is taken from the early 19th century seal of the village of Lindenthal in the munucipality. The leaf is a canting symbol for Lindenthal.
