From the 16th century, the Fugger-Babenhausen princes acquired most of the municipality. From 1556 to 1806 Kettershausen was the seat of an upper and lower court of the Fugger rule of the same name.

coat of arms

The municipal coat of arms was approved by the government of Swabia on June 7, 1983.

Blazon : "Under a blue shield head, inside three golden balls next to each other, in silver a looped blue tip, inside a golden heraldic lily, on the right of the red crook of an abbot's staff, on the left of a red rye ear." The coat of arms connects the coats of arms of the former owners , that of the Freyberg family (three golden spheres on a blue background) with the abbot's staff, which can be understood as a reference to the Stams monastery, and the rye ear from the Roggenburg monastery coat of arms. The golden heraldic lily in the blue field is taken from the coat of arms of the Fugger von Babenhausen. The design of the coat of arms comes from Pastor Johann Zahner from Kettershausen and the design was done by Peter Ziller from Tutzing.
