In Blau ein silberner Schrägbalken, begleitet von zwei goldenen Rosen.

Origin/meaning

The arms were designed in 1908 and adopted by the local council on January 18, 1909.

The silver bend is a canting symbol, -bach means brook or stream. The two roses and the colours are taken from the historical arms of the Counts of Wertheim, to whom the village belonged from 1430-1806. Before 1908 the village had no arms and used only a village seal with the name of the municipality.
