BIESENDORF
State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Konstanz (until 1973 Tuttlingen
Incorporated into : 1975 Engen
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1910.
The village historically belonged to the Hohenhewen Estate, which was part of the Principality of Fürstenberg. In 1806 it became part of Baden. The arms thus show the blue/white bordure of the Princes of Fürstenberg. The small shield with the silver grill refers to the patron saint of Biesendorf, St. Lawrence, whose attribute is the grill. The only historical seal of Biesendorf dates from the 19th century and only shows the name of the village.
