Origin/meaning
Gündlingen was originally a possession of the Abbey of St. Gallen in Switzerland. In the 11th century it became a possession of the Counts of Zähringen and after that of the Counts of Baden. The latter sold the village to the Order of St. John (Maltese Knights) in 1283. In 1803 it became again a possession of Baden.
The village did not use seals until the early 19th century. The seal shows the present arms, being the Maltese cross and a local symbol, which has been used on border stones since the 16th century. The arms were proposed in 1902 and finally granted in 1923, but with the plough iron silver on a blue field. In 1962 the colours were changed, as they were against the heraldic rule of tincture.
