Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 25, 1954.

The main part of the arms shows part of the monastery of Feuchtwangen, which was founded in 800. The area belonged from 1376-1791 to the Markgraves of Nürnberg and the main colours, black and silver, are taken from the arms of the Markgraves from the dynasty Hohenzollern-Brandenburg-Ansbach.

Until 1376 the city of Feuchtwangen was an imperial city, hence the imperial eagle. The other shield shows the arms of Franken (Franconia), the part of Bayern in which the area is situated.
