Höchberg Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, under a mattock Or and a flail Or in saltire a fleur-de-lis Or.
Meaning:
The village was ruled by the brotherhood of the Knights of St. Burkard in Würzburg, which established a local constitution in 1689. The fleur-de-lis had been the symbol of the brotherhood. Flail and mattocks had been the typical weapons of the rebellious farmers in 1525, commanded by Götz of Berlichingen.
