Pinzberg - Coat of Arms

Coat of Arms

The wappenbeschreibung coat of arms reads: In gold an in-curved red point, therein a silver gate tower also on both sides following silver right parallelepiped wall; beseitet in front of a black three-blade clover sheet, in the back of a black grain flower bloom. Pinzberg consists of the municipalities Dobenreuth, Elsenberg, Gosberg and Pinzberg. All places are to be represented gleicherma?n in the coat of arms. The tower is the landmark of Pinzberg and refers to the viergeschossigen church tower, that at the same time a gate tower of the cemetery attachment from the second H?te 15th Century. The in-curved red point is the symbol of the Dreifaltigkeit and stands for Gosberg and its branch church, which the holy Dreifaltigkeit is geweiht. The clover sheet stands for Dobenreuth and symbolizes the rare Patrozinium of the holy family. Since the Middle Ages both the terrestrial and the himmlische Dreifaltigkeit are often represented by nature forms such as Kleebl?er. The important agriculture of Elsenberg is represented by the Kornblumenbl on the coat of arms. The colors gold and black from the bambergischen Pinzberg coat of arms remind of the long-lasting relationship with the diocese Bamberg. In the year 1062 Heinrich IV gave parts of today's gemeindegebiets of Pinzberg the diocese.
