coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided by gold and black, above two diagonally crossed black palm branches, below a golden miter with an applied rosette."

The community area was part of the initial equipment of the Benedictine monastery Ottobeuren, founded in 764. Since no other historical relationships of significance for the municipality can be proven, the colors gold and black of the Ottobeurer coat of arms were chosen as the basic colors for the municipal coat of arms. The two palm branches are the attributes of St. Stephan, who is the patron of the parish church in Hawangen. The miter shown in the lower half of the shield shows the typical Ottobeurer coat of arms rosette. The design of the coat of arms comes from the monastery archivist and district home administrator Aegidius Kolb and the design was done by Max Reinhart from Passau. The coat of arms was approved by the government of Swabia on September 9, 1982.
