In a silver (= white) shield is a blue lynchpin, flanked by two red, heraldic roses, barbed green and seeded blue.
Meaning:
Muggensturm, in the 14th and 15th century sometimes called a city, belonged to the Lordship of Eberstein and was a condominion of The Lords of Eberstein, later Counts of Eberstein and the Margraves of Baden from 1387 to 1676. Afterwards the County of Eberstein was part of the Baden-Baden branch line. The lynchpin was an old local symbol. Its existence on seals can be proven in prints since 1511. Since the 18th century the roses as a symbol of the Counts of Eberstein had been added, sometimes also a plough share. The drat of the current arms was made by General State Archive. The tincture of the lynchpin was chosen arbitrarily.

The coat of arms was adopted by the local council in 1901.
