Wittighausen Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
At the bottom of a celestial blue shield is a silver (= white) wheel with seven spokes. Three square flags, quarterly divided into silver (= white) and red and fixed at golden (= yellow) spears are stuck upon the wheel.
Meaning:
The flags are symbolizing the settlement cores of Unterwittighausen, Oberwittighausen and Vilchband, which belonged to the Bishopric of Würzburg. The wheel, in municipal heraldry often displayed with seven spokes, is a symbol of the Archbishopric and Electorate of Mainz and representing the settlement core of Poppenhausen.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 10 April 1979 by the county administration, published in GABl 254/1980.
