Split yellow, three (1,2) six-pointed red stars above a blue ploughshare, and black a red-armed and tongued, yellow-crowned white lion.
The ploughshare comes from the coat of arms of the local municipality of Wigoltingen, the three stars indicate that the sub-community Bonau belonged to three jurisdictions. The lion comes from the coat of arms of the Barons of Altenklingen.
On 1 January 1995 Wigoltingen merged with Bonau, Engwang and Illhart to the new commune of Wigoltingen. Its old emblem, the blue ploughshare on yellow, became part of the new emblem.
