Meaning:
Wiesental was established by a merger of Muggendorf market town with the municipalities of Albertshof, Engelhardsberg, Oberfellendorf and Streitberg in 1972. The quartered base is referring to the former sovereignty of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The key displays the arms of the Schlüsselberg kin. The ammonite is taken from the former arms of Muggendorf Market Town and is referring to the many ammonites, which had been found in the area.
