Triefenstein Coat of Arms

Shield parted by a fess wavy Argent, above Azure a trident Or flanked by two heraldic roses Argent seeded Or, beneath Gules two keys in saltire, the bendy one Or over the sinister bendy one Argent.
Meaning:
Triefenstein was established in 1978 by a merger of Homburg, Lengfurt, Rettersheim and Trennfeld. Triefenstein had been the name of an Augustine Convent, founded in 1102, which was of great local importance. The convent was under direct rule of the Bishopric of Würzburg and was dissolved in 1803. Due to a Papal decree of Pope John XXII (1316 - 1334) the Pope had been supreme reeve and patron of the convent. The crossed keys are an attribute of St. Peter, patron saint of the convent. The trident, a fork to pierce otters, is representing the guild of fishers and had been already displayed on a village seal of Trennfeld from 1777. The roses are taken from the arms of the Counts of Wertheim, who ruled the former Lengfeld municipality until 1556. The fess wavy is a representation of the Main River. The tinctures red and silver are those of the Bishopric of Würzburg. Homburg had been seat of an episcopal district (German: Amt). Bishop Burghard is supposed of having died in the flowstone cave under the local castle.
