Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) German Civic Heraldry HOTTINGEN District (Kreis) : Waldshut Incorporated into : 1975 Rickenbach State : Baden-Württemberg Origin/meaning: The arms were never officially granted. The arms were already used by the council in the late 19th century, in the early 19th century only a garb was used on the seal. The arms indicate the importance of agriculture for the municipality. In 1911 the State Archives proposed new arms, a red shield with a gold spinning wheel. This was a symbol for the local wool spinning industry. The local council, however, rejected the proposal and continued with the old arms. Literature : Huber, 1982
