Shield parted per fess wavy, above Argent a pair of scales Sable, beneath Vert two beech branches with five leaves each and issuant from a stem, on heart point an inescutcheon quartered of Argent and Sable.
Meaning:
The line of partition is symbolising the location in the Fembachgrund valley. The green colour is symbolising the name, which means "hague". The scales are alluding to the seat of a historical court of justice of the Burgraves of Nürnberg in 1414. The beech is a canting element. Its number of leaves is representing of 10 former villages. The inescutcheon displays the arms of the Princes of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, former local rulers and manorial lords. Inescutcheon and beech branches had already been on a seal from the 17th century of the court journal.
