Shield Or, a lion rampant Gules beneath an antler Gules in fess.
Meaning:
Presumably the lion is taken from the original arms of the Habsburg kin, rulers of the city, then denoted as Veringen since 1280. City rights were granted to Veringen in 1285. The antler is alluding to the Counts of Veringen, who founded castle and village and owned both before 1280. The city was pawned back to Counts of Veringen in the 14th century. The oldest city seal probably was made around 1320, prints existed since 1357. A seal from 1644 displayed the lion standing on a triplemount. The antler was added in the 18th century. The current pattern is in use since 1947.
