Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 30, 1983.

The horns and the mountain are canting, the horns are from the wild ox, or Auerochse and Berg is mountain. The chief shows the former Stöttener See (lake). The horns and the trefoil also symbolise the agricultural character of the municipality. The red and silver are derived from the arms of the State of Augsburg, to which the area historically belonged.
