Shield Argent, issuant from base a triplemount Vert with flame Gules on either peak, issuant from sinister flanch a winged dragon Gules tongued Or holding an eradicated fir Vert by his claws.
Meaning:
The dragon is taken from the arms of the Benedictine Reichenbach Monastery, which ruled the major part of the current municipality in the Medieval. The eradicated fir is representing a wood (German: Wald) and thus canting. Mount and flames are reminding on the historical connections between the Benedictine Frauenzell Monastery and the Lordship of Brennberg (= burning mountain). The tinctures red and white are those of the Bishopric of Regensburg, which also owned large estates in the region.
