coat of arms

The description of the coat of arms reads: “Split by gold and black; in front a green flower with a silver blossom growing out of a green mountain, behind a left silver free quarter. "

Meaning: The left half represents a Märzenbecher (spring knot flower ) , the large occurrence of which in the forest above the core town ( Märzenbecherwald , fairytale forest , also moor wood ) is a sight of the town. The right half refers to the historical affiliation of the place to the rule of the taverns of Geyern and the margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach .

Community partnerships

Ettenstatt has had a partnership with the village of Razvanje in Slovenia (district of Maribor ) since 1986 . Both places are mentioned in a document for the first time in the same document (gift of Razvanje / Rosswein by Emperor Otto III, issued in Ettenstatt in 985). Ettenstatt supported the partner community in particular during the Bosnian War , when refugees from there were housed in Razvanje and had to be cared for and looked after. The last official visit was the trip of Ettenstatter citizens to the 1020th anniversary in October 2005 to Razvanje.
