Wappen von Böbingen an der Rems/Arms (crest) of Böbingen an der Rems
Official blazon
German In geteiltem Schild oben in Rot eine auf der Teilung stehende silberne Kapelle mit Dachreiter, unten in Grün eine schräglinke goldene Glocke

Origin/meaning

The arms were devised in 1930 for the municipality of Unterböbingen, which was later renamed to Böbingen an der Rems.

The upper half shows the so-called Kolomans-chapel in the village. The lower half shows a bell, which is derived from a local legend, in which wild boar suddenly found a buried bell near the village. As there have been Roman objects found near the village, the bell was chosen as a symbol for the long history of inhabitation in the village.
