Auf einem von Silber und Schwarz gevierten Schildfuß in Blau ein ausschreitender, golden gekleideter Bauer mit goldenem Hut und roten Schuhen, aus einem silbernen Säsack goldene Körner ausstreuend.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1575 by Count Georg Friedrich von Ansbach. The arms have not changed since. The base of the arms shows the arms of the Hohenzollern dynasty, to which the Counts of Ansbach belonged. The meaning of the sowing farmer is not known.
