Origin/meaning

Even though Baudenbach received town rights in 1747 it did not use its own seals. The above arms were thus designed and granted on August 31, 1949. The arms show the typical local well and fountain, built in 1544. The small shield shows the quartered shield of the Hohenzollern dynasty, as Margrave Friedrich of Brandenburg-Bayreuth from this dynasty granted the town rights.
