FISCHERBACH

State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Ortenaukreis (until 1973 Wolfach)

Official blazon

In Rot mit blau-silbernem (blau-weißem) Wolkenbord zwei schräggekreuzte goldene Fische.

Origin/meaning

The arms were proposed in 1903, but finally adopted by the municipality in 1960.

The arms are based on the 18^th century seal of the village. The seal showed the above arms, but the fish were placed on a church. The later seals, from the early 19^th century, did no longer show the church. The bordure is taken from the arms of the Dukes of Fürstenberg, who ruled the village for a long time. The two fish are a canting element.
