GUNZENHAUSEN (GUN)
State : Bayern
Incorporated into : 1973 Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on March 8, 1956.
The district is made up of two former areas in the County Brandenburg-Ansbach. The two areas, Gunzenhausen and Hohentrüdingen adopted symbols in 1718/19, which are combined in the new arms. The Gunzenhausen area used a bend with a fishing hook, whereas Hohentrüdingen used the arms of the Counts of Truhendingen, who became extinct in 1424. The latter arms were used in the colours of Brandenburg-Ansbach, silver and black.
