Haunsheim Coat of Arms

Shield Sable, on base Vert a gate lodge Argent flanked by two round towers of the same, all with roofs Gules topped by four swallow tailed weather vanes Or, closed gate Or, charged with a chamois forcene Sable.
Meaning:
The lodge is a representation of the local castle, which had been built by the Palatine Counts of Haunsheim and Reiffenegg from the Geizkofler kin. The chamois (German: Gemse or Geiß) is the canting heraldic animal of the kin. The pattern is known by a seal print from 1655 with circumscription "SIGILLVM COMMVNITATIS IN HAVNSHEIM".

The colours of the banner are traditional. The arms were approved on 1 January 1605 by Zacharias Geizkofler.
