In Silber über zwei schräg gekreuzten grünen Eichenblättern eine dreilatzige rote Fahne, der nebeneinander drei schräg gestellte goldene Quadrate aufgelegt sind.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 7, 1966.

The so-called gonfanon is a symbol of the Counts of Montfort-Rothenfels, who played a major role in the local history. The oak leaves symbolise the many oak forests in the area.
