Origin/meaning

Bachheim was first mentioned in 838. It was part of the County Fürstenberg, but was ruled by vassals for the counts. From 1415-1506 the Lords of Almshofen were vassals, from 1506-1783 the Lords of Schellenberg and in 1783 it was bought by the Lady of Neuenstein.

In 1806, when the County Fürstenberg was abolished, it became part of Baden. Baccheim did not have old seals or arms, and the arms where thus devised in 1898. The arms are based on the arms of the Lords of Schellenberg, who used in the first and fourth quarter four black and golden bars. The flower in the escutcheon is taken from the arms of the Lords of Almshofen. These used a quartered shield with a flower in the second quarter (see Allmendshofen).

The only known seals from the 19th century show either the symbols of St. Peter, the patron saint, or the arms of Baden.
