Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 21, 1952.
The arms are supposed to be canting, form Fisch-Bach or fish-river.
The town did not use any arms prior to 1952, but used a seal of a fisherman between two trees from 1826-1938, and only a fisherman between 1938 and 1952.
 The municipal stamp shown in 1892 |
The colours of the arms were taken from the arms of the 14th century arms of the Lords of Fischach.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
