KARLSTADT (KAR)

State : Bayern
Incorporated into : 1973 Main-Spessart

Karlstad.kreis.jpg

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 9, 1962.

The largest part of the district was ruled until 1803 by the Bishops of Würzburg, hence the arms of the State of Würzburg in the upper part of the arms. The lower part shows in the left half the pales of the arms of the Lords of Trimberg, who owned the Arnstein estate until 1292, when it was acquired by the bishops of Würzburg.

The lower right half shows the bar with the pales from the arms of the Lords of Thüngen, whose residence was in the district.
