Uhingen's coat of arms displays a field of red crossed by a white, wavy fess complemented with a white canton in the upper left corner of the blazon. This pattern, devised by the Central State Archive Stuttgart [de] in 1912, is the coat of arms of the House of Aichelberg, with the addition of the fess to represent the river Fils.[2]
