Incorporated into : 1935 Gaggenau
| German | In gespaltenem Schild vorne in Rot ein silbernes Rebmesser, hinten in Gold zwei schräggekreuzte schwarze Flößerhaken
Origin/meaningThe oldest seal of Ottenau dates from 1571 and already shows a shield, but the it is too damaged to determine the composition. The second known seal dates from 1601 and shows a divided shield with a sickle and two hooks. The sickle represents the viticulture, the hooks are boat-hooks, symbolising fishing on the Rhine. The same arms appear in the seals from the 19th century and the combination was officially approved as arms in November 1910.
