Shield Argent, on top of a triplemount Or a lion rampant Gules armed and tongued Or.
Meaning:
The Counts of Erbach had been local rulers until 1731. They were succeeded by the Princes of Löwenstein-Wertheim, who built the castle in Rococo style and the corresponding park. Their canting family arms displayed the municipal arms, a lion (German: Löwe) on a stone (German: Stein). Until 1518 the lion had been passant and crowned blue. The first local seals displayed the lion rampant without crown and on top either of a triplemount or a plain base. Later seals often omitted the triplemount.

Flag and banner have never been approved officially. The arms are traditional.
