Morshausen.jpg

Official blason:
Über einem Schildfuß, darin ein goldener Stutzwecken, in silbernem Feld ein schwarzer, linksgewendeter Schwengelbrunnen.

Origin/meaning :
The upper half shows a water pump, built in the 15th century by a Hungarian countess, lining in the local castle. The pump still exists. The lower half shows a local kind of bread, a Stutzweck, which is still yearly distributed on Maundy Thursday.
