coat of arms

The town's coat of arms shows a white elephant head with a yellow six-pointed star underneath on a red background. The elephant was the heraldic animal of the Counts of Helfenstein , who owned the place until it died out in 1627. The star is probably just a distinctive symbol. The elephant head and star are first documented as court seals of the Deggingen market in 1551. In 1954 a different-looking city relief was attached to the town hall, which connects the Helfenstein coat of arms with that of the local nobility. At the request of the municipality, the Ministry of the Interior awarded the original coat of arms with the Helfenstein colors of white and red on June 30, 1959.

Partnerships

The partner community of Deggingen is Kottmar in Upper Lusatia in Saxony . Other partnerships were also considered, but they were never realized.
