Origin/meaning
The arms are the old village sign of Gaggenau and they appear first on border stones from 1787. In the 19th century the symbol also appears in or without a shield, in the seals of the municipality.
In 1900 the State Archives proposed new arms, based on the rapidly growing industry in the town. The new arms, which showed in the right half a wheel and in the left a glass-beaker were officially adopted in January 1901.
The arms from 1901-1935 :

 Seal from around 1900 |
After the incorporation of Ottenau in 1935 the arms were changed. The new arms showed the old village sign of Gaggenau, combined with the sickle of Ottenau. These arms have been used until 1957 when the composition was changed from vertical to horizontal. These arms wer use duntil January 7, 1971, when the present arms were granted. As now more municipalities were incorporated the sickle of Ottenau was no longer appropriate. Combining all arms was impossible, so the old village sign was restored.
