Jagstzell Coat of Arms

The shield has a blue base, superimposed by a silver (= white) trout. In the golden (= yellow) main field is a red chapel with windows black and a wall, five towers and a closed door. A nun is looking outside from the top of the front wall. Please note that within source the trout is spotted red.
Meaning:
The settlement on the banks of the little river Jagst developped beneath a small nuns' monastery, also called a cell. The monastery existed until 1170. The arms are canting, the chapel is representing the monastery and the blue base with fish is representing the river Jagst.
