Breitnau Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, on a triple mount Vert a church Argent, flanked by a fir Argent at dexter, issuant from the upper sinister corner a radiant sun Or.
Meaning:
Mount and fir are alluding to the location in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald). The sun is alluding to the fact that sun rises early and keeps many hours a day. A church already appeared on local seals from the 19th century.
