Shield parted per pale of Gules and Argent, over all a plant pot Vert, issuant from pot three barley ears Or.
Meaning:
The arms are canting, displaying a plant pot (Swabian: Blumenscherben), filled with barley ears, to be precise the variety of spelt (German: Dinkel / Latin: Triticum spelta). The arms remained basically the same since the 16th century. The tinctures are those of the Bishopric of Augsburg, to which the village belonged since 1333, later since 1430 to the Chapter of Augsburg. Literature says that the arms were granted in 1557, but in fact the arms are based on an earlier privilege from 1540. Since 1837 the pattern is also used in seals.

The arms were granted on 23 June 1540 by German King Ferdinand I and confirmed in 1836 by Minister of Interior of Bayern.
