Coat of arms

The community’s arms might be described thus: Vert a cross at the honour point Or surmounted in base by an oakleaf argent palewise and between two roses in chief of the last seeded of the second.

The heraldic roses are taken from the arms formerly borne by the Counts of Wertheim. They recall Countess Elisabeth of Wertheim, who in 1314 bought Schollbrunn. The cross and the tincture vert (green) symbolize the monastery, which was dissolved in the Reformation but revived later by the Catholic Count Dieter von Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. The oakleaf represents Schollbrunn’s geographical location in the Spessart and refers to the land clearing at the time when the community was first settled about 1200.

The arms have been borne since 1958.[2]

gollark: Even if it worked in the no-afterlife case, they have some confusing thing going on where they apparently believe in hell of some sort.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: Not being around to have those goals doesn't mean you don't care about them while extant.
gollark: As I said: people generally (as far as I know) have goals relating to the future. Death mostly does not *satisfy* those, but the opposite.
