Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on October 17, 1537 by Walter von Cronberg to the village and court of Igersheim. The upper part of the arms show the arms of the Teutonic Order and part of the arms of the Cronberg family. Both are symbols of Walter von Cronberg, who was a knight of the Teutonic Order. The lower part shows the initials of the town over three hills. Similar arms were granted to Gundelsheim and Markelsheim. The latter arms show the letters MA instead of IG.
