Origin/meaning

The arms were designed in the 1950s and are based on elements from the older seals of the village. The bread-rings (Brezel) appeared already on the 16th and 17^th century seals. They symbolise the importance of the different bakeries in the Modau valley since the 15^th century. The quartered shield is derived from the arms of the State of Würzburg to which the village historically belonged. The vine leaves symbolise the viticulture in the area.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
