Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 27, 1976.

The arms show the local patron saint, St. Martin of Tours, cutting his cloak for a beggar. Contrary to the normal composition, there is no beggar visible in the arms of Wängle. Wämgle was the religious centre of the Aschau region for a long time and the local church thus was of great importance for the area.
