Coat of arms


The community’s arms might be described thus: Azure a winepress argent, in a base of the second a saltire gules.

The winepress in the arms refers to Retzstadt’s winegrowing and winemaking. The saltire (X-shaped cross) is Saint Andrew’s attribute, and it is to him that the church from 1726 is consecrated. The tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) recall the centuries during which the Prince-Bishopric (Hochstift) of Würzburg held sway in the area.

The arms have been borne since 1970.[3]
