The six-spoked silver wheel in red - the Wheel of Mainz - was the arms borne by the Archbishopric of Mainz, to which the community historically belonged until 1803. The wavy bend (slanted stripe) and the oakleaf stand for the community's location on the Aschaff in the Spessart forest, which has a wealth of oaktrees. Both the river and the forest (Wald in German) are parts of the community's name. The cogwheel symbolizes the industry that has sprung up in modern times, making it an important industrial location.
