Faulbach Coat of Arms

Renaissance shield parted per fess, above Gules a wheel Argent (sometimes Or), beneath Argent a bend wavy Azure touching the base Vert.
Meaning:
The arms are derived from a village seal from the beginning og the 17th century. The village was a possession of the Archbishopric of Mainz, represented by the wheel, between 1484 and 1803. Before it was ruled by the Teutonic Order. Bend wavy, representing a creek, and base are canting. The partition of the banner displays a Franconian rake.
