Origin/meaning

Moos became a separate municipality at the end of the 18th century. The oldest, 19th century seal shows already the horseshoe, most likely the old village sign. The horseshoe initially was not placed in a shield, on the second seal, from the middle of the 19th century, the horseshoe appeared in a crowned shield. In between the municipality used for a short while a seal with in the upper part the arms of Baden, and in the lower part the horseshoe. The arms were finally approved by the State Archives and the municipality in September 1900.
