Shield parted per fess; above parted per fess of Gules above and Argent, beneath parted by three isosceles triangles Azure; beneath Azure an eagle Or.
Meaning:
The upper half displays a simplified version of the arms of the Lords of Wild in Wildenreuth, who had been manorial lords in the village in the 14th century. The lower half is a differentiation of the arms of the Sainte Marie Eglise family, whose arms displayed six golden eagles. The French emigrant Louis Anne de Sainte Marie Eglise acquired the local estate in 1725 and restructured the local economy, when he established a factory for grinding and polishing of glass.
