The arms are a combination of the old arms of the medieval Lords of Schechingen, with an additional arrow. The arrow is the symbol of St. Sebastian, patron saint of the town. The arrow was added in 1961 to distinguish the arms of the town with those from the family and from the arms of [[Westerstetten]], which are nearly identical. The Lords of Schechingen were closely related to the Lords of Westerstetten. The town had used the arms of the family already unofficially since 1930. | The arms are a combination of the old arms of the medieval Lords of Schechingen, with an additional arrow.
