Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1957.

The E-shaped symbol is the oldest village symbol, which already appeared on the 17^th century borderstones of the village. The swan is taken from the crest of the Counts of Hanau, to which the area belonged for many centuries. The wavy base symbolises the Main river.
