Nesselwang Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale of Gules and Argent, issuant from base a triplemount Or with three nettle twigs Vert issuant from the peaks.
Meaning:
The basic tinctures are those of the Bishopric of Augsburg, to which the town historically belonged. The nettles (German: Nesseln) and the mountain (Swabian: Wang) together make the arms canting. A seal from 1582 displayed the twigs in a bundle on the central peak. The current pattern appears on a painting from 1791, based on the very first town arms.

The arms were granted in 1582 by Marquard of Berg, Bishop of Augsburg.
