Emmendingen Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Or a bend Gules, at sinister Azure, a knight statant Argent in clad armour, with his left hand at his sword's hilt and holding a staff in his right hand.
Meaning:
The branch line of the Margraves of Baden-Hachberg with seat in Hochburg near Emmendingen granted the rights of a market town in 1418. The first seal with prints since 1466 displayed the Badenian bend at dexter and a plough share at sinister. The plough share was replaced by a knight on occasion of the elevation to a city in 1590 by Margrave Jakob III. The knight probably was alluding to the fortifications, built in the 16th century.

Flag and banner are in use at least since 1971. The displayed version of the arms is in use since 1960.
