Renaissance shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent a grain sheaf Argent eared and tied Or, at sinister Argent an impending crozier Azure decorated Or by a flower and two knobs, surrounded in base by three huerts Azure ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
Local chronicles mention a seal, which was confirmed in 1667 by Johann Philipp of Schönborn, Bishop of Würzburg. The seal displayed already a sheaf on its sinister half and an image of St. Nicholas, the local patron saint, on its dexter half. This pattern had been forgotten for a long time and was revived in 1962. The quarters were changed and the saint was replaced by his attributes, a crozier and three balls, realised as huerts (blue discs). Usually the balls are Or representing golden apples.

Banner and arms were approved on 24 June 1964 by Minister of Interior of Bayern. The original seal was granted by Julius Echter of Mespelbrunn.
