KIRCHHEIM IN SCHWABEN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Unterallgäu (until 1972 Mindelheim)
Additions : 1972 Dendorf
Official blazon
(de) Geteilt von Rot und Gold; darauf ein silbern geharnischter barhäuptiger und bärtiger Mann, die Rechte zum Schwur erhoben, die Linke am schwarzen Griff des Schwertes.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 28, 1544 by Emperor Charles V.
The arms show a type of soldier known as Kürassier. The figure is well described in the original document, and was never, as sometimes was stated, shown as a mounted knight. Ever since the arms have shown the figure, but the actual size and shape has differed widely. It has alse been mentioned that the figure is Hans Walther von Hürnheim, Lord of the village at the time and who asked for the granting of the arms.
