The crest of Dallau and the municipality of Elztal contains on a white or silver background Saint Michael with blue wings.

In his right hand he raises a golden sword and in his lefts he holds a Libra to illustrate the balance of good and evil.

On the left side there's the Palatinate-Wittelsbach rhombus flag of the Free State of Bavaria (Freistaat Bayern).

The Germanic settlers in Elztal were shocked from this changes and relied into the security of the forests and woods of their home area.

In addition, the Romans strengthened their fort with nearby inns (Villa rustica) and a separated Vicus (camp village) for its military troops.

In 497 AD, the Franken conquered the territorium and founded the villages Aue amnis (Auerbach), Dallau, Neckar Castellum (Neckarburken) and Miles Militis Flumen (Rittersbach).

One of them was Herr von Heinriet (1336 AD) who owned the Festivals of Dallau and a lot of land.

In this campaign Dallau was devastated and its settlers and peoples murdered by the order from Karl IV.

After the Death of Gerlach in 1371 AD, the Herr von Heinriets owned now the Possessions of the Elztal villages again.

In the Lohrbach it got nicknames like Wild Plants (lauther Wildnus), Bad Odenwald Field (schlecht Odenwäldisch Feld) and Desert Territory (Wüsteney).

The Royal Palatinate hereditary of Mannheim prompted the reclamation of the barren land of the Rineck Farm.

The settlers received some own land and had to submit their natural produces and yields to the Lohrbach basement office.

The settlers of this new settlement consisted of tinkers, Broom binders, basket makers, itinerant entertainers, musicians and mole catchers.

Through contributions and accommodation in the time of the French Wars and the losing of the left-side-territories of the Rhine, the Elz Valley villages are hard burdened.

So the nobles led a political realignment for southwestern territories within the Holy Roman Empire (Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation).

Begging, thefts, poaching and armed raids were now on the agenda and shifted the whole area into fear and turmoil.

In this, the settlers of the municipality New Rineck were accused of being thieves, crooks, arsonists and vagabonds because they refused to work.

The road (today's B 27) through the Elz Valley were expanded in 1847 AD to improve the local market conditions.

Another important project was the Railway Mosbach-Neckarelz to Osterburken which is today very frequented by students, travelers and not mobile persons.

A tombstone in the center of Dallau near to Volksbank and the water castle testify to the shocking happening of an inevitable war.

The first structural changes occurred during the last three war years and in the immediate postwar period of the transitional government.

In the post-war years settled again a number of displaced from the eastern territories in the Elz Valley villages.

Every village of today's Elztal was a self-governed municipality within the Mosbach district of the North Baden county (Nordbaden).

The secondary school (Hauptschule) of Elztal is in Dallau behind the official municipality town hall (Rathaus).
