Shield enhanced parted per fess dancetty having two points, beneath charged with a crozier Or in bend, over all a pale wavy in counterchanged tinctures.
Meaning:
The crozier is stressing the close connections between the municipality and the Benedictine Ottobeuren Imperial Abbey. The chronicle of the abbey (1180) mentions the village as possession of the abbey since 764. It remained a possession of the abbey until 1803, when it was secularised. The pale wavy is a representation of the Günz River. The line of partition is symbolising the hilly landscape.
