Nicholas in a silver robe with red, silberbordierter Mitra, the silver crosier in his right hand, a red book with three golden balls lying on it in his left hand holding, back in silver a floating black triple mount. "

For the first time the city and church patron St. Nicholas is used on a hanging on a document of the 1315 municipal seal. The black three- mountain in the crest is due to the domination of Schwarzenberg. On the basis of the seal from 1315 the General State Archives made ​​in 1895 a coat of arms for Elzach. A short time later, however, proved that the seal, so carefully it was also engraved and so clean, it was held, could never deliver significant footprints, because the coat of arms was too cluttered and thus did not allow for precise engraving.

The current coat of arms was simplified by resolution of the Municipal Elzach and with deed of the Interior Ministry of Baden- Württemberg in 1968 to today's current coat of arms. The coat of arms colors are held so that it colors the city adopted in 1948 " White - Green " (Silver - Green) can be derived according to the heraldic rule.
