Elfershausen Coat of Arms

Shield quartered, 1st quarter Argent parted by a facetted centred cross Sable, 2nd quarter Gules two pales Argent, 3rd quarter Gules two bars Argent, 4th quarter parted per fess dancetty of three points of Gules and Argent.
Meaning:
Elfershausen gained the title of a market town in 1965 and was enlarged in 1978, when it merged with Engenthal, Trimberg, Machtilshausen and Langendorf. The black cross of the Fulda Imperial Abbey in the 1st quarter is taken from the municipal arms of Langenbach. The 2nd quarter displays the family arms of the Lords of Trimberg, who lived in the namesake village until the 14th century. The 3rd quarter displays the family arms of the Lords of Erthal, who had been vassals of the Fulda Abbey, later also of the Counts of Henneberg and the Bishops of Würzburg. They lived in Elfershausen between 1454 and 1805 and owned large estates in the village.The so called Franconian rake in the 4th quarter displays the arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg, the successor of the Fulda Abbey as sovereign.

Langendorf Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale; at dexter parted per fess, above Argent a facetted cross Sable, bneath Azure a millwheel Argent; at sinister parted per fess dancetty of three points of Gules and Argent.
Meaning:
The black cross is representing the Fulda Imperial Abbey, the so called Franconian rake at sinister the Bishopric of Würzburg. Abbey and bishopric had been the most important local rulers for centuries. The millwheel probably is alluding to local watermills alongside the (Franconian) Saale River.
