Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 26, 1980.

The largest part of the district was ruled in the early Middle Ages by the Counts of Achalm. The counts did not use arms, but in the 12^th century the Zwiefalten Abbey appointed arms to the counts (who had founded the monastery). These arms were adopted by the district in 1980 as district arms.
