Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 19, 2000.

The horse is taken from a 19th century seal of the village. The pine tree is taken from the seal of the former municipality Zwabitz. The green colour refers to the forests and meadows in the municipality.

The initial design for the arms was rather different, showing a beaver instead of the horse, see below.

Wappen von Bibra/Arms (crest) of Bibra

The beaver is a canting element, which was also used in the 20th century seals of the village; the pine tree also referred to Zwabitz. The silver mountains refer to the Walpersberg, Hornissenberg and Auberg in the municipality.

These arms were never officially granted.
