(de) Unter silbernem Wellenschildhaupt durch einen gestürzten goldenen Flachsparren geteilt; oben in Blau ein von fünf goldenen Scheiben beseitetes schwarzes Mühlrad; unten durch einen goldenen Pfahl gespalten von Schwarz und Rot, vorne ein schräger goldener Rautenkranz, hinten zwei silberne Schräglinksbalken.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 20, 1983.

The golden wreath is taken from the Imperial Abbey of Elchingen. The golden pale and red bends are the arms of the former County of Burgau, to which part of the municipality historically belonged. The pale also symbolises the old Roman road in the municipality. The wheel has five blades, one for each of the former municipalities. The wavy chief symbolises the Donau, Roth, Leibi and Biber rivers in the municipality.
