====Official blazon====
In Blau die silbern gekleidete Justitia mit silberner Augenbinde, in der Rechten ein gestürztes Schwert, in der Linken eine goldene Waage haltend.
 
====Origin/meaning====
Grafenhausen is named after the Counts (Grafen) of Nellenburg. Later the area was a possession of the St. Blasien Abbey. The town was the seat of a local court and hence the symbol of justice, Lady Justice with sword and scales, appeared on the 19<sup>th</sup> century seal of the town. In 1903 the arms were officially granted, with the colours of St. Blasien.
