The lords of Rothenstein, the marshals of Pappenheim, who died out around 1500, and the prince monastery of Kempten were important for the history of the municipality. The inclined beam is taken from the coat of arms of the Lords of Rothenstein. The iron hats come from the coat of arms of the marshals von Pappenheim. Red and blue are the colors of the coat of arms of the prince monastery Kempten.
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.
