Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 9, 1987.
The arms were designed in 1987. The two knives symbolise the local patron saint, St. Bartholomew. According to legends he was skinned alive and beheaded so is often depicted holding his flayed skin or the curved flensing knife with which he was skinned. In this case only two knives were used.
The fleur-de-lys is the heraldic symbol for St. Mary and refer to a chapel devoted to St. Mary in Priesendorf, which is a site of pelgrimage.
The deer antler refer to Konrad Gregel (died 1717) who was a patron of the local church and managed to establish a separate parish in Priesendorf. As he was a hunter, the deer antlers were chosen to represent him.
The silver and red colours refer to the Counts of Schönborn, to which the village historically belonged.
