Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1895 and are based on the arms of the Esching family, who played an important role in the history of the town.
Before 1895 the local arms and seals showed a Sester (I don't know the English translation of this word, it seems to be an old round measuring device for grain) as the main symbol. This Sester seems to have been the old village symbol. The oldest known arms, from 1791, show only this Sester. When Donaueschingen became a city in 1810, the eagle of the Counts of Fürstenberg (who ruled the city) was placed above the Sester. Later during the last century the eagle became the main symbol, with a breast shield, divided with the arms of Baden and the Sester. These arms were used until 1895.
