Wiesenbach Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Azure a sinister facing lion rampant Argent, crowned and armed Or; at sinister Or three rye ears Vert on a mount of the same.
Meaning:
The municipality was established in 1978 by a merger of Oberegg, Oberwiesenbach und Unterwiesenbach. The lion is taken from the arms of the Lords of Wiesenbach, who lived in the area until the end of the 14th century. They sold their possessions in 1398 to the Counts of Kirchberg. Between 1447 and 1803 Unterwiesenbach became a possession of the Premonstratensian Roggenburg Imperial Abbey. The rye ears (German: Roggenähren) are taken from the arms of the abbey. The abbey also owned estates in Oberegg and Oberwiesenbach.

Banner and arms were adopted on 26 November 1997 by the local council. It had been the symbols of Unterwiesenbach, approved in 1965, which were adopted without changes.
