Official blazon
Über rotem Schildfuß in Silber ein schreitender, rot bewehrter und gezungter blauer Löwe; vor ihm ein schwarzes Schildchen, darin ein silberner Ring.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 29, 1970.
The village was a possession of the State of [{Augsburg]], which is shown by the divided shield of Augsburg. The village was given in loan first to the Von Knöringen family, later to the Freiherren Schenk von Stauffenberg zu Jettingen. The lion is taken from the arms of the latter family, the ring from the Von Knöringen family.
