Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, a bear rampant Sable, armed and tongued Gules, surrounded by three 6-point stars Gules, two in chief and one in base.
Meaning:
The bear is obviously canting (Beer = Bär = bear). The stars are taken from the arms of the Counts of Erbach. Even though the field used to be brown in the original grant, golden by Otto Hupp or green in local journal in 1960, the arms were approved in silver in 1928 on occasion of the 600th anniversary of the granting of city rights. The arms were granted on 10 December1650 by Count Eberhard von Erbach and confirmed on 11 June 1928.
