coat of arms

Fensterbach coat of arms
Blazon : “Split between black and gold (yellow); above a wavy bar split by silver (white) and blue in front a golden (yellow) clearing ax, behind a red griffin head turned to the left with a human face on the neck. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms was approved by the government of the Upper Palatinate on August 23, 1977 at the suggestion of the municipal council . The wavy bar in the Bavarian colors symbolizes the Fensterbach, which flows through the municipality that was newly formed in 1971/72 from the municipalities of Dürnsricht, Wolfring, Högling and parts of Frotzersricht. At the same time he is talking to the place name. The clearing ax comes from the coat of arms of the municipality of Dürnsricht and refers to the development of the place as a clearing settlement . The red griffin head with a human face on the neck is reminiscent of the Lords of Saalhausen who, as owners of Hofmark Wolfring, had the striking castle built in Wolfring in the 16th century .

Road traffic

State road 2151 runs through the municipality; this connects the A 93 near Schwarzenfeld with the federal highway 85 and the A 6 near Amberg .

After the completion of the gap on the A 6 between Ebermannsdorf and the Oberpfälzer Wald motorway junction, an abbreviation that had existed for years could be closed. This led to a significant reduction in the pressure on the districts located directly on the state road. So far, the unofficial direct connection has mainly been used by heavy traffic to and from Prague .

In a north-south direction, the district road 24 and the district road 25 to Trisching connect the community with the neighboring community Schmidgaden .
