Renaissance shield Gules, on top of a mount Argent issuant from base a falcon statant of the same, armed and tongued Or.
Meaning:
Falcon and stone are canting elements, alluding to the local Falkenstein Castle, probably built in the 11th century. The tinctures are those of the Bishopric of Augsburg, to which the municipality historically belonged.

The arms were approved in 1954 by Minister of Interior of Bayern and the banner in 1955.
