Shield parted by a bend wavy Argent, above left Gules an apple Or with two leaves of the same, beneath right Azure a tower Or.
Meaning:
The bend is representing the Nesse River. The apple (German: Apfel) is a canting element. The tower belongs to the local former church dedicated to St. Mary.

Shield Azure a viola Or in bend sinister, superimposing violin bow of the same in bend, base parted by three barrulets wavy Argent.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the symbols on the seals of the two former municipalities. The seal of Kleinrettbach displayed the Siebgenquelle, a fountain, which is symbolised by the barrulets wavy. The Rettbach creek originates from these springs. Not mentioned but probably referring to Großrettbach are viola and bow.
