Origin/meaning

The oldest seal of Au dates from the early 19^th century and shows some shield, but the image on the shield is no longer known. A later seal shows the letter A in a crowned shield. In the summer of 1900 the municipality applied for new arms and the State Archives proposed the arms, which were adopted by the council in December 1900. The arms show the Murg river and the roses are taken from the arms of the former County Eberstein, to which the village historically belonged.
