Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on March 22, 1927.

Bauma was created as a separate municipality in 1651 and the oldest use of the arms dates from 1740. The arms show a canting tree (Baume), at the time still an undefined deciduous tree. In 1803 th etree was changed into a pine tree on a ground, which was also used on the seal from 1805. During the 19th century different shapes of the tree appeared, but in 1927 the type and colours were finally properly described.

Literature: Ziegler, 1977
