context_page_description: Mönchberg is a market community in the Miltenberg district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia in Bavaria, Germany. It is the seat of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft of Mönchberg and a state-recognized climatic spa.
context_section_description: The community's arms might be described thus: Per pale, dexter argent a pikestaff issuant from base sable bladed azure and tasselled Or, sinister gules in chief a crown Or, in base a wheel spoked of six of the first.
  The pikestaff and the crown both refer to the Carolingian king's soldier-farmers (Wehrbauern) who settled the community. The community's overlords changed several times throughout its history, and several times it belonged to the Archbishopric of Mainz, ending up in Mainz's hands for good, or at least until the Old Empire's 1803 downfall, in 1720. The so-called Wheel of Mainz refers to this state.
  The arms have been borne since 1965.
