history

Since the Teutonic Order , to which Ellingen belonged for centuries, only had self-administration rights, the place only got its own coat of arms in 1817. The St. Andrew's cross comes from the order's coat of arms. The colors silver and blue are the Bavarian national colors. The date of the award cannot be clearly established, it is between 1817 and 1819.
