Shield Azure, parted by a pile reversed Argent, charged with a horseshoe Sable.
Meaning:
The horseshoe is a local symbol. Bishop Clemens Wenzelslaus of Augsburg (since 1768) invited all municipalities alongside the Hochstraße (English: Highway), to mark their properties, among those boundary stones and boundary-posts, fences and public equipment, by local symbols. The reason for the choice of a horseshoe had been forgotten, probably it was based either on local horse breeding or on the corpus of finds of numerous horseshoes on the area of the Lechfeld, a battle field, where German King Otto I defeated the Hungarians in 955. Seals with a horseshoe are in use since 1815. The tinctures are those of Bayern. Bobingen gained city rights in 1969.

The arms were confirmed in on 29 September 1837 by King Ludwig I of Bayern.
