UISSIGHEIM
State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Main-Tauber Kreis (until 1973 Tauberbischofsheim)
Incorporated into : 1972 Külsheim
Official blazon
In Silber ein rotes Herz.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 2, 1902.
The oldest seal of the village is mentioned in 1668, but it is not known what it showed. The oldest remaining seal dates from 1811 and shows a shield with a heart. The stamp of the seal, however, dates from the 18th century. Later seals in the 19th century also showed the heart. It was thus based on these seals that the arms were designed. As no colours were known, the colours of the State of Mainz, to which the village had belonged, were chosen.
It has also been speculated that the heart is derived from the arms of the Lords of Uissigheim, who used two swans in their arms.
