The arms show the local church above a city wall. These arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city, which dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century. Mellrichstadt received city rights in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. The first known use as arms and the colours are known since 1544. The colours changed in the 19<sup>th</sup> century to blue and silver, the colours of Bayern. Since the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the historical colours were restored. | The arms show the local church above a city wall.
