Geteilt von Gold und Rot; oben drei zwei zu eins gestellte schwarze Mohrenköpfe, unten eine goldene Biene.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 20, 1965.
The upper part shows three Moor's heads. These are derived from the arms of the Tockler family, who lived on the Tocklerhof in the village and who ruled the village until the 16th century as vassals for the Bishops of Bamberg.
The bee in the lower half is a symbol for the Zeidlhuben family. The family was required to deliver some honey every year to the bishops and thus held many bees in the area.
Literature : Stadler,1990
