The arms show the lion of the Counts of Erbach. The village was a possession of the Counts of Erbach until 1731. They were succeeded by the Princes of Löwenstein-Wertheim, who rebuilt the local castle. The lion is shown as in the arms of the counts after 1518. The arms are known since the early 19<sup>th</sup> century, but are probably older as the Counts of Erbach ruled only until 1731. There are, however no older seals or pictures of the town. | The arms show the lion of the Counts of Erbach. The village was a possession of the Counts of Erbach until 1731.
