In Rot ein goldener Schrägbalken, begleitet oben von einem schreitenden silbernen Löwen, unten von der großen Bügelfiebel von Wittislingen Origin/meaning The arms were granted in 1952. The arms combine the bend and the lion taken from the arms of the Counts of Dillingen with an ancient stirrup decoration (Bügelfibel). The town was one of the residences of the Counts of Dillingen in the Middle Ages. The decoration was found as part of a buried treasure, dating from the 7th century, from a Royal grave of the Alemann tribe. The colours are derived from the colours of the State of Augsburg, as the Counts of Dillingen were succeeded by the Bishops of Augsburg as rulers of the town.
