Altenriet Municipal Coat of Arms

In a golden (= yellow) shield is a black, rampant dog with drop ears. He is tongued red. The shield has a light blue chief superimposed by two golden (= yellow) pretzels.
Meaning:
The dog is taken from the arms of the Lords of Riet, who had their estate in the village. Pretzels are a type of hard pastry. They are alluding to the famous local pretzel-market, which has a long tradition in the village.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 31 August 1973 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg, published in GABl 1105/1974. The coat of arms is in use since 1931.
