Flag and Arms
The city colors of Bad Waldsee are black and white. The fish to the right of the arms stands for the fishing from the city's lakes. The star over the arms symbolizes the city's devotion to the Virgin Mary, who is venerated at the mountain chapel "Our Dear Lady of the Mountain." The baker's paddle on the right of the arms stands for the flourishing grain trade, which the city was based on in its early years. The seal probably comes from the first possessor of the city, the "Lord of Waldsee."

Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or arms:
“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
“On a flat road runs the well-trained runner,
He is lean and sinewy with muscular legs,
He is thinly clothed, he leans forward as he runs,
With lightly closed fists and arms partially raised.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
