Origin/meaning

The plough iron is the oldest known village sign of Bünzwangen, known since the 17^th century. The plough iron appears in combination with two stars in the seal of the councillor Jakob Hummel from 1720 and with a crown and palm branches in the seal of councillor Johann Falkenstein from 1781. These symbols were combined in the above arms, which were granted on June 19, 1957.
