Rohrberg Coat of Arms

The shield is parted per bend. Above in a silver field is a green mount issuant, charged with a silver 6-spokes wheel. Beneath in a golden field are three bulrushes, leaved vert and seeded black.
Meaning:
The mount and the bulrushes are canting elements, as the municipality's name means "mountain of bulrushes". The wheel is alluding to the Archbishops of Mainz, the former rulers.
