Hainsfarth Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, a sailing boat Or with sail Argent parted by a cross patty Sable.
Meaning:
The municipality since 1810 used a seal displaying the boat, which had been forgotten later. The ship is considered to be punning for the 2nd syllable of the name of the municipality. The black cross is alluding to the Teutonic Order, which had been an important manorial lord, which owned parts in the village since 1247.

The arms were approved on 13 August 1959 by Minister of Interior of Bayern. The old banner has never been approved officially and the municipality was enforced by the government of Bayern to abolish it.
