Kreuzwertheim

The first known description of the settlement names Werdheim, which can be taken to mean "homestead on the safe riverbank", referring to the community's location on the Main.

Werdheim developed into the mother parish for the southeastern Spessart area, which itself was first overseen by the Bishop of Würzburg.

This family had a new defensive complex built on the Main's left bank, whereby, under this new protection, a new settlement arose, which soon took the name Werdheim.

Since this time, a new name has been found to better distinguish the municipality from the one just across the river, one that refers to the stone cross (Kreuz in German) on the marketplace.

According to official statistics, there were 1,046 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in producing businesses in 1998.

[3]: 69 The community's arms might be described thus: Per fess in chief argent a Celtic cross barby issuant from the line of partition sable, in base azure three roses of the first seeded Or.

The municipality's oldest surviving seal dates from 1600, and it, too, bore the Celtic cross in reference to the one that still stands in the marketplace.
