Shield Or six oak leaves Vert ordered 3:2:1, parted enhanced by a fess chequered of Gules and Argent and abased by a fess wavy Gules.
Meaning:
The six leaves are representing the former independent municipalities of Bundorf, Kimmelsbach, Neusses, Schweinshaupten, Stöckach and Walchenfeld, which merged in 1978. They are also referring to the Bundorf Forest, a wood of economic importance in the present and as a hunting ground in the past. The chequered fess is taken from the arms of the Stewards of Wetzhausen, who lived in Bundorf since 1343. They already own the local castle. The fess wavy is a representation of the Baunach River.
