Dillingen Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, issuant from base an embattled wall Argent masoned Sable with port Or fimbriated Gules and charged with a label Azure with three points over a fess dancetty Gules, in chief an eagle Argent, crowned and armed Or and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
Dillingen gained the rank of a market town in 1613 and of a city in 1949. Eagle and embattled wall had been taken from the arms of the Lorrainian prefecture of Siersburg. The pattern of the port displays the arms of the Barons of Siersberg, who ruled Dillingen from the 14th century, until they became extinct in 1558. The Lordship of Dillingen was upgraded to a Duchy in 1789 by French King Louis XVI.

The arms were approved in 1949, flag and banner in 1952 and a slight amendment of the arms in 1952.
