Ballendorf Coat of Arms

Shield Gules with bordure Argent, a dove Argent.
Meaning:
The dove without bordure was introduced in 1946, shortly after the end of WW2 being a symbol of peace. The tinctures had been those of the Margraves of Burgau and their successors, the Counts of Werdenberg-Sargans, rulers of the Lordship of Albeck, to which Ballendorf belonged. The lordship was sold to the city of Ulm in 1383.

The banner is used unofficially. The arms were approved on 21 February 1955 by the state government.
