coat of arms

Blazon : "In red over a silver deer antler, two diagonally crossed golden knives, above a silver heraldic lily ."

Meaning: The crossed knives indicate St. Bartholomew , the namesake of the church in Priesendorf. The lily is a symbol of Mary for the pilgrimage chapel in the village and the silver deer antlers are reminiscent of the hunter Konrad Gregel, who died in 1717. He was in the service of the Counts of Schönborn, whose coat of arms colors gold (lion) and red (field color) were adopted, and Priesendorf was under their rule. Konrad Gregel had advocated the separation of Priesendorf from the Eltmann parish.
