GLATTBACH
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Aschaffenburg
Official blazon
In Gold ein blauer Schräglinkswellenbalken, oben begleitet von einem schwarzen Schild, darin der Rumpf eines doppelköpfigen silbernen Storches, unten von drei aufrecht gestellten, schwarz umrandeten silbernen, rot umwickelten Garnrollen.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 19, 1980.
The wavy bend symbolises the Glattbach (Bach=stream, river). The upper half shows a small shield with a double-headed stork. These are the arms of the Wasen family, who owned from 1387-1528 a large estate in the municipality. The lower half shows three bobbins, a symbol for the local textile industry.
