Coat of arms
The German blazon reads: Durch einen schräglinken silbernen Wellenbalken von Rot und Grün geteilt. Oben ein durchbrochenes rundbogiges, durch drei gestaffelte, nasenbesetzte Spitzbögen unterteiltes goldenes Fenster. Unten drei goldene Ähren.
The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy argent between gules a window with three staggered lancet arches joined by a semicircular arch Or, and vert three ears of wheat of the third.
The bend sinister wavy refers to the place where the village began, on the Kimpelbach. The charge below this, the three ears of wheat, refers to the village’s founding in the 11th century as an agricultural estate (whose name meant “Huso’s Clearing”). The other charge, a Gothic church window modelled on one in the cloister at Ravengiersburg Monastery refers to a document from this monastery, which says that the Provost of Ravengiersburg transferred, among other things, holdings in Hauroth to Saint Stephen’s Foundation in Mainz in 1103.
The arms have been borne since 16 January 1991. [4]
