IMMENSTADT IM ALLGÄU

State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Oberallgäu (until 1973 Sonthofen)

Wappen von Immenstadt im Allgäu

Official blazon

(de) Gespalten von Grün und Silber; vorne ein aufrechter, gebogener silberner Fisch, hinten eine halbe bewurzelte grüne Linde am Spalt.

Origin/meaning

Immenstadt became a city in 1463 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. It already shows the arms as they are now. The linden tree is taken from the arms of the city of Lindau, which owned several rights in the area.

The fish symbolises the good fishing in the area. In the 18th century the shield was covered with a beehive, which is a canting symbol (Imme=bee in the local dialect). Since 1915 the beehive is not used anymore.
