Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 19, 1960.

The wavy bend symbolises the Main and Kahl rivers in the municipality. The wheel is taken from the arms of the former State of Mainz, to which the town belonged from around 1500 until 1803. From 1816 the town belongs to Bayern, and thus the colours in the upper part are those of Bayern. The hare (Hase) is taken as a symbol for the nickname of the villagers, Sandhasen (sand-hares).
