The hegemony of the Counts of Schönborn was mediatized in 1806 at the behest of the Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 (by this time it had become a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) to Bavaria.

In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.

The official German blazon reads: Unter dreimal von Rot und Gold geteiltem Schildhaupt in Rot über drei silberne Spitzen schreitend ein blau gekrönter goldener Löwe mit Doppelschweif.

The barry (that is, horizontally striped) chief was taken from the arms borne by the earlier lords, the Counts of Rieneck.

The tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) stem from the arms borne by Electoral Mainz, to which the community also once belonged.
