Collenberg

Collenberg is a community in the Miltenberg district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany.

The council is made up of 14 council members, with the seats apportioned thus: The community's arms might be described thus: A fess wavy argent, in chief gules, dexter a wheel spoked of six and sinister a dog's head erased gorged sable with studs of the first, in base azure three maces, two and one, issuant palewise from the base.

The three maces come from the arms once borne by the Schenken of Klingenberg, former overlords who gave the castle its name after the founder of their line, whose name was Kolbo (and in German, the word for “mace” is Streitkolbe, or simply Kolbe), and are thus a canting charge.

The wheel in the escutcheon’s upper half on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side is the Wheel of Mainz, and refers to the area’s long rule by Electoral Mainz, lasting until the Holy Roman Empire was at last dissolved in 1803.

The dog’s head on the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side is another canting charge.
