Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 24, 1963.

Erlbach historically was a possession of the Margraves of Nürnberg and the oldest seals of the town, known since the 14th century, thus showed the quartered shield with the dog as a crest of the Hohenzollern family, Margraves of Nürnberg. Later the whole composition was placed in a shield, see image below.

These arms remained unchanged until 1963 when the above arms were granted. The reason for the change was that more towns (see Langenzenn) also used the same or similar composition. The bordure is derived from the oldest arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, before the Hohenzollern dynasty.

Hupp showed in the 1920s the old arms, see below.
