The shield is divided per bend sinister into gold (=yellow) over red. Above right is a red, heraldic rose seeded golden (= yellow). Below left is a golden (= yellow) wheel with six spokes.
Meaning:
In 1972 the municipalities of Hirschlanden and Rosenberg, including the incorporated former municipalities of Bronnacker and Sindolsheim, merged. The rose is a canting element. The pattern refers to the political and territorial situation before 1802/1806, when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved. The rose appeared in the crest of the Lords of Rosenberg, who were rulers of Bronnacker, Hirschlanden and Rosenberg until the 17th century. It also appears in the arms of the Counts, later Princes, of Wertheim, local rulers until the 18th century. The wheel is representing Sindolsheim, that was ruled by the Rüdt of Gollenberg family as vassals of the archbishops of Mainz.
