Shield parted per pale of Argent and Gules and parted by a throughout pile reversed in counterchanged tinctures.
Meaning:
The town arms are the family arms of the Lords of Maßbach, local rulers until the end of the 30-Years-War (1618 - 1648), when the kin died out. Their arms are known from seals since the 14th century. The pattern was used on local seals until the 19th century. The tinctures were not known but the nowadays silver parts had been masoned on the seals. The tinctures were introduced by a draft of Otto Hupp in 1937.
