Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1906.

The red cross is the arms of the State of Konstanz, the blue pales are taken from the arms of the Princes of Schwarzenberg. In the 14th century Bergöschingen was partly ruled by the Habsburg family, partly by the Archbishops of Konstanz. Later the Klettgau region, in which the village is situated, became a possession of the Princes of Schwarzenberg. In 1803 it became part of Baden.
