Kirchheim Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess, above Azure a fleur de lis Argent, beneath Gules three piles Argent.
Meaning:
The fleur de lis is symbolising the rule of the Knights of the St. Burchard's Abbey in Würzburg. A document from 832 reports donations from the village to the abbey. The blue colour and the fleur de lis are also attributes of St. Mary. The lower half displays the Franconian rake and is symbolising the rule of the Bishopric of Würzburg.
