Official blazon

In Gold ein steigender, golden gezäumter und golden gesattelter Rappe, darauf ein schwarz gekleideter bäuerlicher Reiter, der eine weiss-rote Fahne auf der Schulter trägt; unten ein schwarzes Widdergehörn.

Origin/meaning

The arms show a rider on a horse holding a banner and a set of rams horns. The ride ris the so-called King of Farmers, the nickname of the mayor, who rides a horse with the local banner on special occasions. The rams horns are taken from the local noble family Von Lierheim. The colours are those of the city of Nördlingen, which bought the village from the Von Lierheim family around 1450.
