History

As part of the Prince-Bishopric (Hochstift) of Würzburg, Erlenbach was in Bavaria's favour secularized in 1803 and passed under the Peace of Pressburg (1805) to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, whence it passed back to Bavaria in 1814. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.

Coat of arms

The community's arms might be described thus: Gules two arrows in saltire the dexters sable and the sinisters Or surmounted by a heart argent, itself surmounted by a bunch of grapes azure, the stalk of the second, the whole between two mullets of six of the third.

The arms are based on the village's 18th-century seal, which bore the same charges seen today in the arms, likewise marshalled. The grapes stand for the community's wine-growing, and the heart may refer to the love of community. The arrows stand for the defence of the village, and the six-pointed stars come from the Wertheim family's roses. The tinctures come from the arms borne by the Princely Electorate (Hochstift) of Würzburg, to which Erlenbach belonged from 1612 to 1803. [3]
