Foundation of the coat of arms

The three linden leaves in the upper field symbolize the three former villages that made up the municipality of Ballern, Ballern, Rech and Ripplingen. The branch probably symbolizes a group of linden trees near Ballern, which used to be a meeting place for the citizens of the community.
