Origin/meaning

The arms were designed and granted in 1930 and are based on the seal of the local council from 1613. The first quarter shows the lion of Katzenelnbogen.

The second two stars taken from the arms of the Counts of Erbach. Both families ruled the village for a period during the 14th-17th century. The cross is the symbol of the Lorsch Abbey, to which the village belonged for many centuries. The reed in the third quarter is a canting element (Rohr=reed).

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
