Albertshofen Coat of Arms

Shield parted by a bend sinister wavy Argent, above right Sable two bars Argent, beneath left Gules three balls Argent ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The three balls, here unusually blazoned silver, are attributes of St. Nicholas, the local patron saint.They already appeared in the oldest local court seal. The dexter part displays the family arms of the Barons of Mauchenheim called Bechtolsheim, the most important manorial lord and local ruler in the past. The bend wavy is a representation of the Main River. Red and white are the colours of Franken.
