Foundation of the coat of arms
The history of Ottenhofen was determined up to the 16th century by the local lords of Ottenhofen, who were first mentioned in 1083 with Ezzo von Ottenhofen. The Ottenhofer had the lower jurisdiction (Hofmark Ottenhofen) and were at the same time the dominant landlords in the municipality. Related to the Ottenhofers and their heirs were the Eßwurm, who called themselves Eßwurm von Ottenhofen in the 16th century. A grave monument in the church of Ottenhofen, which shows the coat of arms of this family that died out in the 17th century, was the model for the design of the new municipal coat of arms. The heraldic rose is the old coat of arms of the Ottenhofer family, the dragon (Tatzelwurm) with the letter "S" in the throat is the talking coat of arms of the Eßwurm family.
