Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1970 and show in the chief the typical arms of the Counts of Fürstenberg, who acquired the city of Blumberg in 1537.

The lower half shows symbols industry and two leafs; an oak leaf for the local Eichberg (oak-mountain) and a beech leaf for the Buchberg (beech-mountain).
