Origin/meaning
The oldest use of the arms dates from 1830. At the time the arms were described as historical, but no older seals or images exist. The arms show a donkey, which most likely is derived from the crest of the Lords of Riedheim, who ruled the town from the 15th until the 17th century. The base is canting for the old name of the town, Angelberg, as it shows a wolf's iron (Wolfsangel) on a mountain (Berg).
