The 19th century seal of the village showed only a pine tree and the name of the village. In 1894 the State Archives proposed the above arms, as there were already many arms with pine trees in Baden. The cross in the arms refers to the Beugen chapter of the Teutonic Order, which already had possessions in Birndorf in 1264 and which also received the taxes from the local church in the next century. The lion is taken from the arms of the Lords of Klingen zu Altenklingen, the oldest known lords of the village. In 1271 Walther von Klingen granted the village to the St. Blasien Abbey. | The 19th century seal of the village showed only a pine tree and the name of the village.

The 19th century seal of the village showed only a pine tree and the name of the village. In 1894 the State Archives proposed the above arms, as there were already many arms with pine trees in Baden. The cross in the arms refers to the Beugen chapter of the Teutonic Order, which already had possessions in Birndorf in 1264 and which also received the taxes from the local church in the next century. The lion is taken from the arms of the Lords of Klingen zu Altenklingen, the oldest known lords of the village. In 1271 Walther von Klingen granted the village to the St. Blasien Abbey.
