Coat of arms
The coat of arms shows a black Ohmdens a six -pointed star with a horseshoe on a yellow shield. Little is known about the origin. The horseshoe symbol could indicate the likely high horse population of the place. Interpretation is supported by the fact that after the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634 from the municipality 125 horses were requisitioned an enormous for those city size number. What is certain is that the star was a coat of arms with other local horseshoe symbol, which always recurred in Württemberg, introduced only to distinguish and has no historical significance. While a seal dating from 1765 still shows a deer rack on an "O " has a seal of 1800, the horseshoe symbol, even without a star on. The current coat of arms was granted on 11 December 1973, the Interior Ministry.
