AISLINGEN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Dillingen an der Donau
Additions : 1972 Baumgarten
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on September 30, 1952.
The arms show in the right half the local chapel of Aislingen. The left half shows a so-called gonfanon, taken from the arms of the Counts of Werdenberg, who ruled the area from 1280-1489. During their reign Aislingen received city rights. The counts were succeeded as rulers by the State of Augsburg, and the red and silver colours of the gonfanon are derived from the colours of the State of Augsburg.
