Diagonally divided by a red-white bar, on the upper yellow field a black bear head, on the lower blue field a yellow boat with two oars.
The bear and his colours are a reminiscence of the Bissegg area's relations to the Abbey of Saint Gall.
The boat is a reminiscence of the former ferry across the Thur river in Amlikon, the colours blue and yellow of the ancient Lords of Griesenberg and the colours red and white of the Abbey of Reichenau.
