Balzhofen became a separate municipality at the end of the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal of the municipality showed already the bend in the upper and a single horseshoe in the lower part of the shield. The colours of the bend are not known, but it is likely that it is the bend of [[Baden (State)|Baden]]. Later during the 19<sup>th</sup> century the bend was removed and the seals showed only a horseshoe on a shield. | Balzhofen became a separate municipality at the end of the 18<sup>th</sup> century.
