coat of arms
Blazon : "Under a blue shield head closed by a golden wavy strip, inside a golden lily , accompanied by two silver elk shovels, in red a gold-armored silver rooster ." | |
Justification of the coat of arms: The two silver elk shovels in the head of the shield indicate the former place name Elewarthin . The golden lily in blue is taken from the coat of arms of the feudal lords of Helfenstein. For the 4 brooks (Elbertbach, Gambach, Stelzenbach and Weiherhellbach) there is symbolically the golden wavy strip with the 4 waves in the local coat of arms. The rooster, the popular symbol of Niederelbert, is included in the local coat of arms as a heraldic shield figure, gold-armored in silver on a red field. Red and silver are the Electorate's coat of arms colors. |
