In geteiltem Schild oben in Gold zwei rote Schräglinksleisten, dazwischen drei, außen je zwei sechsstrahlige rote Sterne, unten in Rot ein stehender goldener Hirsch.
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.
