Shield Argent, a red kite with 16 pinions armed Or, issuant from base a mount Vert, charged on middle base point by a wavy field of Argent over Azure over Argent and on its edge nine linden leaves Vert.
Meaning:
In the municipality is Germany's biggest population of red kites (Latin: Milvus milvus). The embowed base, i.e. the mount, is representing the Weinstraße (English: vine road), an important historical highway. The number of leaves, in the Hauptsatzung mentioned as linden trees, is the number of former municipalities, when the municipality was founded. The number of pinions is the current, i.e. in 2019, number of former municipalities. The blue wavy bar in base is representing the Ilm River.
