coat of arms

	Blazon : "Divided by a raised silver wavy bar: above in red two diagonally crossed silver oak leaves and a silver acorn, split at the bottom, divided seven times in front by red and gold, behind in blue a silver oblique left-hand bar with three blue rings."

Coat of arms history
The community was created in 1976 from the formerly independent communities Krausenbach and Winterbach through a voluntary merger. It is geographically located on the Dammbach, from which the place name is derived. The wave beam in the coat of arms indicates the brook. The oak leaves and the acorn in the head of the shield are symbols for the location of the municipality in the Hochspessart. The sevenfold division of gold and red is taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Rieneck. Krausenbach was in their possession for a long time. The silver sloping bar with the three blue rings is the coat of arms of the Echter von Mespelbrunn family. They ruled Wintersbach, built a church there around 1415 and a hospital in 1584.
The coat of arms was awarded on July 22, 1988.
