Wonfurt Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, at dexter an intertwined linden branch Gules with eight leaves, at sinister a branch Gules of a plum tree with two plums and four leaves, base nebuly parted per fess wavy of Gules and Argent.
Meaning:
The charges are representing the three settlement cores of the municipality. The linden branch is representing Wonfurt proper and is taken from the arms of the Lords of Seckendorff, who lived in the village since 1569. The plum tree branch is representing Steinsfeld, where plums are cultivated. The base is representing Dampfach and the namesake creek.
