ERLENBACH AM MAIN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Miltenberg (until 1973 Obernburg am Main)
Additions : 1976 Mechenhard; 1978 Streit
Official blazon
In Gold ein rot gekrönter und golden bewehrter schwarzer Doppeladler, der rechts einen roten Reichsapfel mit goldenem Kreuz, links ein rotes Schwert hält; darüber schwebend ein rot gefütterter Kurfürstenhut mit Hermelinbesatz, goldenen Bügeln, Reichsapfel und Kreuz.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on September 2, 1953.
The arms are based on old 18th century seals of the town. The eagle obviously is the Imperial Eagle, and was probably taken as a symbol in the 18th century for the 12th century Imperial Estate, from which the town developed. To the eagle a Royal crown was added for the Prince-Bishops of Mainz, who ruled the area until 1803.
