Official blazon

Geteilt von Silber und Grün, oben ein schräglinker, links gewendeter roter Abtstab, überdeckt von einem in zwei Reihen von Silber und Rot geschachten Schrägbalken, unten über einer silbernen Pflugschar zwei silberne Kartoffelblüten mit goldenen Butzen.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 11, 1983.

The upper part combines the chequered bend of the Cistercian Order with a crosier for the Bishops of Würzburg, symbolising the two main rulers in the area.

The lower part shows two potato flowers, the main crop, as well as a plough iron, both symbolising the agricultural character of the village.
