Fichtenau Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
The golden (= yellow) shield has a green base wavy and a green fir tree issuant. In the upper sinister corner is a black buzzard's head armed red.
Meaning:
On 1 January 1973 the municipalities of Lautenbach, Matzenbach, Unterdeufstetten and Wildenstein merged, published in GABl 96/1973. The local council decided to adopt a coat of arms displaying a fir tree (German: Fichte) as a canting element. The buzzard is alluding to the existence of numerous birds of prey in the area while the base wavy is alluding to local meadows, ponds and little lakes.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 20 June 1979 by minister of interior of Baden-Württemberg, published in GABl 254/1980.
