Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 22, 1988.

The upper half of the arms shows two oak leaves and a acorn, symbols for the forests in the Hochspessart region. The wavy bar symbolises the Dammbach (Bach=river, stream). The red and golden bars are taken from the arms of the Counts of Rieneck, who for a long time ruled Krausenbach. The blue field is taken from the arms of the Echter family, who played a mayor role in the history of Wintersbach. The family built the first church in the village in 1415.
