Coat of arms history

Elfershausen received the market rights in 1965. It was not until 1978 that the community was formed in its current size. The market community of Elfershausen was created through the amalgamation of the eponymous community of Markt Elfershausen with the formerly independent communities of Engelthal, Trimberg, Machtilshausen and Langendorf. The coats of arms of the communities of Elfershausen. Langendorf, Trimberg and Engenthal were lost through the merger. However, it was decided to adopt elements from these coats of arms in the new coat of arms. The black Fulda cross in the first field comes from the coat of arms of Langendorf. It is a reminder of the former rule of the prince monastery of Fulda in the municipality. The silver posts in red in the second field are the coat of arms of the Lords of Trimberg, which are documented until the end of the 14th century. The silver bars in red in the third field are taken from the coat of arms of Herr von Erthal. They are documented in the 12th century as feudal people of the Fulda monastery and later also of the Counts of Henneberg and the Würzburg monastery. They have been recorded in Elfershausen since 1454. The three silver tips in red in the fourth field are the coat of arms of the Hochstift Würzburg ( Franconian rake ), which, in addition to Fulda, also had rulership rights in the municipality.

The coat of arms was awarded by the government of Lower Franconia on July 19, 1985.
