Pinzberg

The coat of arms reads: In gold an in-curved red point, therein a silver gate tower also on both sides following silver right parallelepiped wall; beseitet in front of a black three-blade clover sheet, in the back of a black grain flower bloom.

Since the Middle Ages both the terrestrial and the Holy Trinity are often represented by nature forms such as clover sheets.

The colors gold and black from the Pinzberg coat of arms remind of the long-lasting relationship with the diocese Bamberg.

In the year 1062 Heinrich IV gave parts of today's territory of Pinzberg the diocese.

The emblem is used since 1988 on the legal base of a Resolution of the local council and the agreement of the government of Upper Franconia.
