Former coat of arms

Coat of arms of Fronhofen
 Blazon : "In green a golden wolf's tang accompanied by silver antlers."
Reasons for the coat of arms: The green color of the coat of arms indicates agriculture with meadows and forests, the antler pole indicates game. The double hook ( wolf tang ) symbolizes forestry. The crossbar gives the hook a resemblance to the letter F, the first letter of the place name.
