Erlenbach Coat of Arms

Shield Argent; a throughout cross patty Sable, charged with a fillet cross fleury Or; in centre an inescutcheon Argent, charged with a grapevine Azure with leaves and stem Vert.
Meaning:
The former municipal arms had been the personal arms of Franz-Ludwig of Pfalz-Neuburg, Grandmaster and Magister Germaniae (Deutschmeister) of the Teutonic Order. They were replaced in 1946 by the current arms. The tinctures were fixed in 1956. The current arms connect the symbols of the Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order (crosses) with viticulture (grapevine).

The banner was approved on 4 May 1960 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg. On the same day the arms were confirmed.
