Shield parted per pale, at dexter parted per fess of Gules and Azure, at sinister Argent, in chief a half length portrait of a female saint crowned Or and dressed Sable, in base parted by three bars wavy Azure.
Meaning:
The saint is Hildegard of Bingen, patron saint of the Princely Abbey of Kempten, the dexter half is also referring to the abbey. The bars wavy are a representation of the name giving Günz River. The existence of the pattern is proven since the 16th century on seals of town and court.
