STOCKSTADT AM MAIN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Aschaffenburg
Official blazon
In Blau über einem gesenkten silbernen Wellenbalken ein silberner Legionärshelm mit rotem Kamm in Seitenansicht.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 16, 1952.
The Roman helmet in the arms symbolises that the town is situated on the position of an old Roman castellum (fortress). The wavy bar symbolises the Main river. The colours are those of Bayern, to which the area belongs since 1815.
