Official blazon

In von Schwarz und Gold gespaltenem Schild ein von links hervorbrechender, in verwechselten Farben gekleideter Arm, ein silbernes Schwert mit goldenem Griff haltend.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1835, but at the time were described as the 'historical arms since 1509' but no older images exist anymore.

Arnstorf received town rights in 1509/10 and the arm with the sword most likely is a symbol of the new rights and freedom. The colours are derived from the arms of the Lords of Closen who at the time ruled the town.

On June 23, 1813 the town officially was granted arms by King Max Joseph of Bayern. These arms showed in red a white swan, also derived from the arms of the Lords of Closen. The only use of these arms was on the seal from 1814.
