Origin/meaning
Bauerbach was first a free Imperial estate, which in the 15th century was acquired by the abbey of Hirsau. In 1511 it was sold to the Bishops of Speyr and in 1803 it became part of Baden.
The arms are known form a seal since 1537, but the seal probably dates from the 15th century. All later seals show the same arms. The eagle is the symbol for the Inperial character of the village. The left part shows a farmer's tool, which is probably used as a village sign. The arms were granted in 1911 in the imperial colours for the eagle and in the colours of Baden for the tool.
Literature: John, 1986.
