Shield parted per fess, above Argent a hunting horn Gules with metal fittings Or under a 6-point star Azure, beneath Gules a hunting horn Argent with metal fittings Or under a 6-point star Azure.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the arms of the local court, which had been granted in 1530 to Mathäus Ehem II by German Emperor Karl V. The Barons of Ehem had been local rulers of the upper village (German: Oberdorf) since 1464 and reeves. The horns are referring to the hunting rights of the barons. The village was acquired by the Fugger family in 1546.
