Shield parted per fess, above Argent three piles Gules, beneath Azure a swan passant Argent.
Meaning:
Oberlauchringen and Unterlauchringen merged on 1 July 1971. Before both became a part of Baden in 1806, they belonged to the Landgraviate of Klettgau with special rights preserved of the Landgraviate of Stühlingen. The upper half displays the arms of Oberlauchringen, charged with the Sulz Piles. The Counts of Sulz were rulers of the Klettgau from the 15th until the 17th century. The lower half is taken from the arms of Unterlauchringen. It is taken from shield and crest of the Counts of Lupfen, who owned the Landgraviate of Stühligen during three centuries.
