Origin/meaning

Ochsenhausen belonged to the St. Blasien Abbey until 1803 and thus used no seals or arms. The first seal dates from 1820 and was based on the medieval seal of the local church, showing a red church and a canting ox. This composition was used when the arms were officially granted in 1950.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
