Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 5, 1961.
The burned tree branch is a canting symbol; -reuth is derived from roden, meaning clearing forest, which is often done by fire. The branch also refers to the arms of the Lords of Schirnding, who owned the local estate from 1739-1817 and whose arms also included a branch.
The unicorn is derived from the Lords of Gravenreuth, who owned the estate from 1180-1738.
Literature: Stadler, 1990.
