Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 30, 1969.

The three balls in the base are the symbol of St. Nicholas, the patron saint, who also appeared on the historical village seal.

The two silver bars in black are taken from the arms of the Lords of Mauchenheim, who, in the 18th century, ruled most of the village. The silver bend is the Main river and silver and red are the colours of Franken.
