Gules in chief two crowns pierced Argent then a cross throughout of the Same.

The coat of arms of Langrickenbach adopts the coat of arms of the cathedral chapter of Constance in reversed colours and also shows two crowns as a sign that Emperor Barbarossa already confirmed in 1155 that the church of Langrickenbach belonged to the cathedral chapter of Constance.
Since 1 January 1998 Langrickenbach has formed a new commune with Dünnershaus, Herrenhof, Schönenbaumgarten and Zuben (see below).

Dünnershaus (until 31 December 1997)

Gules a seme of roses and a lion rampant reversed Or.
Christopher Southworth

The lion shows that Dünnershaus stood as high court directly under the bailiff. The roses symbolize the 13 former farms of the municipality.

Herrenhof (until 31 December 1997)

Sable a bear rampant Or holding a crown Argent pierced and gemmed of the Second.
Christopher Southworth

The Herrenhof ("manor of the lords") was the manor of the monastery of St. Gall. Therefore, the monastic coat of arms, the bear of Saint Gallus, is depicted in reversed colours. The crown says that the manor was originally a royal estate.

Schönenbaumgarten (until 31 December 1997)

Gules a seme of crosslets pattee Or a lion rampant Argent crowned of the Second.
Christopher Southworth

Adoption of the coat of arms of the Lords of Altenklingen, but in the colours of Münsterlingen Abbey and sprinkled with its coat of arms symbol, the cross patty.

Zuben (until 31 December 1997)

Gules a bear's head erased Argent on a chief of this Last a cross overall of the First.
Christopher Southworth

The bear's head indicates the dominion of the monastery of St. Gall. The colours red and white indicate the former lord, the monastery of Münsterlingen. The head of the shield reveals that Zuben was a fief of the diocese of Constance.
