In 1835 Zöblen was raised to an independent municipality and previously belonged to the municipality of Tannheim as a district .

The two streets are connected with the Tannheimer Straße (B 199), which leads from Weißenbach am Lech to the German border with the federal highway 308 .

coat of arms

Blazon : Black sable running in a silver shield in a three-pass .

The colors of the municipality flag are black and white.

The coat of arms, awarded on October 20, 1987, symbolizes the name of the community.

The name Zöblen is derived from the female form of the family name Zobl = Zöblin (female), a family name that is very common in the Tannheimer Tal. The Zobl = stone marten can therefore also be seen in the coat of arms.
