Official blazon

In Gold eine über Eck gestellte silberne Kirche mit sieben rot bedachten Langhausgiebeln, Apsidenturm und Dachreiter; auf der Fassade stehend der silbern gekleidete Erzengel Michael mit Kreuzstab; neben dem Portal ein goldenes Schildchen, darin ein mit einer silbernen Schrägleiste überdeckter, rot bewehrter schwarzer Löwe.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 6, 1444 from Anton von Rotenhan, Prince-Bishop of Bamberg. The arms show a church with nine towers, hence a canting element (the name could mean nine churches). On the front tower the patron saint, St. Michael is shown. In front of the church stands a small shield with the arms of the State of Bamberg. The latter was removed in 1819 when the city became part of Bayern, but it was later restored.
