RÖTHLEIN

State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Schweinfurt
Additions : 1978 Heidenfeld, Hirschfeld

Official blazon

In Blau ein durchgehendes goldenes Tatzenkreuz, dahinter oben ein silbernes Hirschgeweih, unten beseitet von je einem gekrümmten, abgewandten silbernen Fisch.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 26, 1980.

The cross and the colours blue/gold are derived from the arms of the Heidenfeld Abbey, founded in the 11^th century and which played a major role in the history of Heidenfeld. The deer antler symbolises the village of Hirschfeld (Hirsch=deer). The two fish in the base indicate the historical importance of fishing for the people in the area.
