The arms were officially granted on December 1, 1980.

The three leaves represent the three former municipalities. The oak leaf stands for Gädheim, as part of the lands around the village are known as Eichenbühl (Eiche=oak). The chestnut leaf refers to the two large monumental chestnuts at the time in Greßhausen. The linden leaf refers to the Türkenlinde in Ottendorf.

The colours are those of the State of Würzburg, to which the villages historically belonged.
