Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 19, 1931.

The arms are derived from the arms of the 1662 extincted Lords of Kettenheim, who showed a pale sable on their shield. May be that the pale azure symbolises the later rulership of the Wittelsbach family. The chain (German = Kette) is canting for the name of the municipality.

The following arms were proposed in 1956:
