The oldest known seal dates from around 1830 and shows a bird's claw n a crowned shield. The meaning or origin of the claw is not known. In 1913 the present arms were devised, based on the old seal. The claw was now specified as a duck's claw and the colours are the old colours of the Ortenau area. | The oldest known seal dates from around 1830 and shows a bird's claw n a crowned shield.
