Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 8, 1957. Previously the town used since 1930 unofficial very complicated arms, which were not heraldically correct.

The arms are based on the arms of Austria, but these are now placed vertically, instead of horizontally. Gosheim belonged from 1351-1805 to the Austrian possessions in the South-West of present Germany. The meaning or origin for the hand and stick is not known.
