coat of arms

The family coat of arms of the Knights of Schmalegg is described as a triangular shield, inclined to the right , which shows a structure on a gold background that can be interpreted as a wolf's tang or wall hook . On the upper left corner of the shield sits a pot helmet from which a bent horn protrudes. The horn carries three small shields which in turn show the wall hook and are each set with three peacock feathers. From this coat of arms the earlier municipal coat of arms of Schmalegg was derived.
