coat of arms

Seal of the community of wills

The “coat of arms” of the community cannot be heraldically described and is therefore not a coat of arms in the actual sense, but rather to be assigned to the image seals. It was elected by the community after the Second World War in the absence of official seals that are free from National Socialist and Imperial symbols and is still used today.

The seal of the Willenscharen shows the residents' bond with their closer home through the suggestion of the natural landscape in the form of the river and the traditional river crossing, the Störbrücke, as well as the reference to a historical monument, the Wallberg, an old refuge and fortress directly on the Sturgeon. This was designated as a cultural monument by the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, its ring wall is still relatively well preserved.
