Coat of arms
Blazon: " whose base are made of silver and blue blocks Azure, between two silver towers built, a closed golden gate with Einlasspförtchen in silver wall."
Even before 1400 decreed the place Dirlewang on the market right, but only in 1725 its own coat of arms by Elector Max Emanuel II, he was initially as a seal awarded by Bavaria. The historical coat of arms of the market is its content difficult to interpret. So the red box is the same color with the main color of the coat of arms of the former princely pin Kempten, which had for several centuries Dirlewang as a fief until 1587 to Hans Fugger went on sale. The gate with Einlasstürchen between two towers were variously occasion for a naive and certainly incorrect interpretation of the heraldic image of the place name ( for Dirle = Türlewang = open). Much more likely, however should be pointed out as secured by the coat of arms at the time the special rights of the market as the High court, the freedom of the Frondienstleistung and market rights under Bavarian law ( colors white and blue).
