Shield Sable, a lion rampant Or, crowned, armed and tongued Gules, standing on a pair of arrows Argent, feathered Gules, in saltire.
Meaning:
The lion is taken from the arms of the Palatine Counts of Rhine, the arrows, also called rays (German: Strahlen), see also: Stralsund), are taken from the arms of the Barons of Strahlenberg and had been canting elements. Konrad of Strahlenberg granted city rights to the settlement around 1240 in conformance with the Imperial Abbey of Ellwangen. The city rights were lost in 1470 and were regained in 1964. The oldest seal, made after 1347 with a print from 1381, already displayed the current pattern

Shield Gules, an ox passant Argent, in chief an antler Or.
Meaning:
The ox is a canting element, because the name of the municipality is derived from "ox creek". The antler is symbolising the Lords of Hirschberg-Strahlenberg, former local rulers. The pattern is based on the oldest village seal from 1623.

The arms were approved in 1910.
