Sennfeld Coat of Arms

Shield Or, over a fess wavy Azure an eagle Sable, nimbed Argent, tongued Gules and with cloverstems Argent on his wings.
Meaning:
In the 19th century Sennfeld had the same arms as nearby Gochsheim. The arms are however based on a misapprehension. The earliest seal of Sennfeld from 1773 displayed an eagle with nimbus and without wall. The eagle in the current arms is the imperial eagle. The fess wavy was added as a distinguishing mark and is alluding to the lakes around the municipality.
