Origin/meaning

Baunach received city rights in 1328 from Emperor Ludwig of Bayern. The town never really developed to a real city for many centuries. The arms were granted on July 15, 1477 by Anton of Rotenhahn, Bishop of Bamberg.

The oldest seal dates from the 16th century and thus shows already the present arms. The arms show the rivers Baunach, Lauter and Itz that run through the municipality and and who merge just before flowing into the Main. The pike is a symbol for the many fish found in the river. The arms were originally red, but during the 20th century were oten seen on a green field. Since the 1980s only the red field is used again.
