Oberreichenbach has no historical arms or seals. The first heraldic symbol appeared in the seal of the village in 1935, a small lion. In 1960 the municipality used a shield with a lion on the seal. No coloours or meaning of this lion were known. As this lion had no historical significance, new arms were designed after the merger with the nthree other municipalities. It took, however, until 1983 before the new arms were granted. | |||
