Eußenheim Coat of Arms

Shield Or charged with three heraldic roses Gules seeded Or and barbed Argent, ordered 2:1; chausse embowed Gules, at dexter charged with two connected bends of lozenges Argent, at sinister charged with a ash branch Argent.
Meaning:
The roses are taken from the family arms of the Heußlein kin, who lived in Eußenheim proper since the 14th century. They died out in 1870. The lozenges at dexter are the heraldic symbols of the Lords of Bickenbach, the most important manorial lords in Bühler. They sold their possessions in 1469 to the Bishopric of Würzburg. The leaf of an ash (German: Esche) is the canting representation of Aschfeld village. The tinctures red and white had been those of the bishopric. Furthermore they are representing the former municipalities of Hundsbach, Münster and Obersfeld, which had no proper arms.
