Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1958 and show in the upper half the arms of the former Benedictine Abbey of Zwiefalten, which owned most of the area from 1089-1802. The lower half shows the deer derived from the arms of the county and district of Sigmaringen.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
