by Jan Oskar Engene 11-APR-1996

based on a description in Walter Kranz (ed.) The Principality of Liechtenstein: A Documentary Handbook, 5th edition, Vaduz, 1981:
"Divided horizontally, with black upper field and a golden lower one."

The arms are diagonally divided in two fields, black and gold. On the first appears a golden sword and key in form of a saltire. The colours are those of the nobility of Schellenberg to whom Mauren once belonged. The sword and key symbolise the right of patronage on the parish. The arms of Mauren were adopted on 8 February, 1958.
