coat of arms

In red a golden sloping bar, accompanied by two striding golden lions, in front of both a golden star

The Landvogtei Andelfingen carried the coat of arms of the County of Kyburg after the Count of Kyburg died out in 1264 and differed only in an additional six-pointed star. Andelfingen and Kleinandelfingen both carried on the coat of arms of the bailiwick from 1831. At the beginning of 1927 the official coat of arms was established and the distinguishing feature that is valid today was added: Kleinandelfingen has two stars next to the lions, Andelfingen only one.
