Altbach Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a red shield is a silver (= white), embowed bend.
Meaning:
The shield is displaying the arms of the Lords of Altbach. Since 1930 in the seals of the village mayor there appeared an erroneous bend sinister. This was replaced later, no precise information given.
