Coat of arms

The two red roses with green sepals and silver centres, with their Isenburg tinctures refer to the first documentary mention. The tinctures for law and wisdom, however, which the roses can also be said to have, recall the old Isenburg court’s jurisdiction. The silver roof with its noteworthy ridge turret stands in the red point for the old bakehouse of Untershausen. The three-leafed beech twig stands with its green tincture for the forest and the Untershausen municipal area.
