Additions : 1978 Dampfach, Reinhardswinden, Steinsfeld

Official blazon

(de) In Silber über von Rot und Silber im Wellenschnitt geteiltem Wolkenschildfuß, nebeneinander in schlingenförmig gebogener, außen mit je vier Blättern besetzter Lindenzweig und ein roter Zwetschgenzweig mit zwei Zwetschgen und vier Blättern.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 14, 1982.

The linden branch is taken from the arms of the Lords Von Seckendorff, who had their estate in Wonfurt since 1569. The plum branch is taken as a symbol for Steinsfeld, which is known for its plum orchards. The base refers to Dampfach and is a canting element showing an evaporating stream (from Dampf-Bach, steam-stream).
