The arms were granted on September 27, 1971.
The hat in the upper part of the arms symbolises Cölestin Joseph Ganglbauer, born in the municipality in 1817, who became Prince-Bishop op Wien in 1881 and in 1884 a cardinal. The horse and wavy bend are canting for the Ipfbäche (Ipf-streams) that run through the municipality. Ipf comes from the Celtic word epos, or horse. Another explanation is that the name Schiedlberg is derived from Schellberg, which means stallion-mountain.
