Description of coat of arms:
In a light blue shield is a silver (= white) watch tower with two turrets, masoned black.
Meaning:
The market rights of Hüfingen, located beneath the castle of the Lords of Blumberg, were confirmed in 1274. Hüfingen became a possession of the Knights of Schellenberg in 1383 and gained city rights officially in 1452. Before it was denoted as city, market town or village as well. The oldest seal from the middle of the 15th century already displays a tower with two turrets. This pattern appeared on all later seals and images. Size and shape of the tower on the other hand were changed in detail several times.
