Origin/meaning

Dietenheim was an Austrian possession and received city rights in 1588 from the Counts of Fugger-Dietenheim, who acted as vassals for the Austrian emperors. The arms, however, already appear in a seal from 1471, and are a combination of the Austrian arms in the right half and the Imperial eagle in the left half. The arms did not change after the area became part of Württemberg in 1810.
