- (de) Über silbernem Schildfuß, darin zwei schräg gekreuzte rote Streitkolben, ein wachsender, silbern gekleideter Jäger, der in der Rechten ein goldenes Hifthorn, in der Linken ein silbernes Rodungsbeil mit goldenem Griff hält.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 27, 1962.
The village was founded by clearing some forests by the Forestmaster Von Lebenhahn, with permission of the Prince-Bishop of Würxburg to which the area belonged. The lower half of the arms shows the clubs taken from the arms of the Lebenhahn family. The upper half shows a villager and the two main activities of the villagers in historical times; hunting (horn) and making charcoal (axe).
