coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on August 23, 1951 by decision of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior.

Blazon : “Split by blue and gold; in front a rooted golden fir tree , behind a blue heraldic lily . "

The fir tree is supposed to symbolize the current community name and earlier place name "Irmatshofen auf dem Wald", which was in use until around 1600, as a "talking" coat of arms symbol. The lily and the colors blue and gold stand for the Fugger-Babenhausen house, which Irmatshofen acquired in 1549 as part of his dominion.

The coat of arms was designed by the Munich heraldist Emil Werz .

flag

The flag was approved by the government of Swabia on August 23, 1988.

The flag is yellow and blue striped with the municipal coat of arms.
