[edit] Coat of arms

Officially granted on January 5, 1993, the base shows the two dominating hills in the area, the small and large Gleichberg. The scissors are taken from the arms of the Von Milz family and their relatives von Scherenberg (Schere is scissors). In the 15th century the family played a major role in the local history. The top is a type of pre-historic pin found in the Kleine Gleichberg. The colours are those of the von Scherenberg family, as well as of the State of Würzburg, to which the area was once attached to.
