It is a green-white-red horizontal vertical tricolour without arms (see right image above) or with arms (see left image above) slightly shifted to the top.
Source: I spotted both banners on 3 October 2014 on the borders of the municipality alongside the road from Tauberbischofsheim to Würzburg.

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent a deciduous tree Vert on a lawn of the same, at sinister Gules an impending horsehead Argent bridled Sable.
Meaning:
A local seal with a print from 1767 already displayed a deciduous tree on a lawn. The horsehead is taken from the arms of the Zobel kin, local rulers from 1502 until 1515. The tinctures red and white had been those of Franken and Würzburg.
