The arms were granted in 1963 and are based on the arms as used on a seal dating from the late 17<sup>th</sup> century. The chevron in the upper half is derived from the arms of the Lords of Pölnitz, who ruled the village at the time. The hat is a type of farmer's cap used in the area until the 16<sup>th</sup> century. On the original seal the hat was placed on top of the shield, but is now placed in the upper half as well. The lower half shows a fence with three canting aspen trees (Eschen), indicating the specific territory of Aschbach. | The arms were granted in 1963 and are based on the arms as used on a seal dating from the late 17<sup>th</sup> century.
