Shield Or, a gonfanon Gules with three annulets Argent at its top, issuant from base a demi-lion Gules armed and tongued Azure.
Meaning:
Between 1268 and 1792 with minor interruptions the town belonged to the Counts of Rechberg, who granted the rights of a market town around 1330 and made the town capital of the Lordship of Illerreichen. The demi-lion is a differentiation of their family arms. The gonfanon is taken from the arms of the Palatine Counts of Tübingen, who also owned large estates in the villages.

The arms were adopted in by the local council in 1954.
