Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 24, 1986.

The three chevrons in the base are the arms of the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg, who ruled the area for a long period of time until 1793. The crosier is taken as a symbol for the Stürzelbronn Abbey, which had many possessions in the village. The oak leaf and the plough symbolise the agricultural character of the municipality. The K is the initial of the village. Finally, the division line symbolises that the village is situated in a valley.

Literature: Debus, 1988
