The arms are based on the arms of the medieval Counts of Bregenz, who became extinct already in the 12th century. The choice of ermine indicated the importance of the counts at the time.
 The seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Coffee Hag album +/- 1932 |
See also the use of the arms as the County Bregenz as used by the Austrian Emperor.
