coat of arms
The coat of arms of Ohmdens shows in black a six-pointed star under a horseshoe on a yellow shield. Little is known about the origin. The horseshoe symbol could indicate the presumably high number of horses in the area. The interpretation is supported by the fact that after the Nördlinger battle in 1634 125 horses were requisitioned from the community, an enormous number for the size of the town at the time. What is certain is that the star was only introduced to distinguish it from other local coats of arms with a horseshoe symbol, which kept recurring in Württemberg, and has no historical significance.
While a seal from 1765 still shows a deer pole over an "O", a seal from 1800 shows the horseshoe symbol, still without a star. The current coat of arms was awarded on December 11, 1973 by the Ministry of the Interior.
