Dürnau Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules, an embattled tower Or, at sinister Argent a pale wavy Azure.
Meaning:
Since 1963 the municipality used seals displaying an arid thorn branch. These arms were approved on 20 March 1968 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg. The arid (German: dürr) branch was considered to be canting. In the current arms the tower is alluding to a former castle on the hill Schlößlebühl. It is also considered to be canting, due to "Dornon", a rare synonym of "tower". The pale wavy is alluding to the existence of two local creeks.
