Shield Azure, issuant from base a table mount Or, topped by two firs Argent, in central chief an impending inescutcheon quartered of Argent and Sable.
Meaning:
The mount is a representation of the local Gelber Berg (=yellow mountain), a local flat summit mount. The firs are symbolising forestal riches. The inescutcheon displays the arms of the Margraves of Ansbach, the former rulers.
