German |
In geteiltem Schild oben Silber, unten von Rot und Silber gerautet Origin/meaningFridingen was founded by the Counts of Hohenberg, who granted the city rights in 1370 and sold the city to the Dukes of Austria in 1381. Nevertheless, the seals until the 17th century still showed the divided silver and red shield of the Counts of Hohenberg (see also Horb). In the 19th century the division was slightly changed, with the silver half being reduced to a silver chief, see below. In 1938 these arms were officially granted.
