Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1583 by Emperor Rudolf II when the village became a town.

The arms showed above and below a bar with four pales a silver wheel on black. The bar is taken from the arms of the Lords of Dörzbach, the wheels from the arms of the Lords of Berlichingen. The latter succeeded the former as rulers over the village in the 15th century. In 1601 the village was sold to the French family Eyb, and the two wheels were replaced by twice three shells of the arms of the Eyb family. The present arms were granted in 1970 and are a combination of the arms of the three families.
