From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:
The arms were granted on January 26, 1962.The upper part shows the arms of the Princes of Hohenstaufen, the oldest known rulers in the county. They ruled the whole county until 1268. The lozenges in the middle bar are the arms of the Wittelsbach dynasty, Dukes and Kings of Bavaria, and successors of the Hohenstaufen family. The lower part shows the arms of the diocese and State of Augsburg, as the Bishops of Augsburg also had several possessions in the county.
Literature: Stadler 1964-1972.
