 The arms are based on the history of the villages in the municipality. The bar with the golden stars is taken from the arms of Michael Dobler, Abbot of the free Abbey of Neresheim. In 1803, when the Abbey became part of Bayern, he settled in the castle in Ziertheim and named himself Lord von Ziertheim.
-The two crossed keys are taken from the arms of the Abbey of Bergtesgaden, which had several possessions in the area around Dattenhausen since the 12th century. The base shows the arms of the State and Diocese of Augsburg, which represents the Convent in Reistingen, founded by the Counts of Dillingen, but from 1450 a possession of the Diocese of Augsburg. The diocese ruled the village until 1783.
