Schneeberg is a market municipality in the Miltenberg district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany.

The Electoral Mainz community was assigned in the 1803 Reichsdeputationshauptschluss to the Princes of Leiningen, was mediatized in 1806 by Baden, and in 1810 was ceded to Hesse-Darmstadt.

The mount of three (a charge called a Dreiberg in German) and the tree symbolize the municipality’s location in the Odenwald (range).

The lily and the crown are Marian symbols and refer to the pilgrimage known to have been undertaken before 1474 to the “Mother of God on the Elder Trunk” (Muttergottes auf dem Holderstock), the legend underlying which tells of an icon that somehow mysteriously and repeatedly moved from its place in the church to a place on an elder tree.
