Meaning:
Thannhausen gained the rights of a market town in 1348 and of a city in 1953. Otto Hupp based his reconstruction on the oldest known seal from the 17th century. Seal and arms are canting, displaying a fir (German:Tanne) and a house (German: Haus). The house changed in detail during the centuries. According to a local legend it is the former local castle of the Taigenhuser kin.

The colours of the banner are traditional. Johann Siebmacher (new edition 1856) claims that the arms had been granted by Emperor Friedrich III in the 2nd half of the 15th century, which can´t be proven but is at least trustworthy.
