Lörrach received its city rights in 1682 when it became the capital of the Oberamt Rötteln-Sausenberg.
At the same time, its arms were granted.
The arms show a canting lark (Lerche).
In 1756, both the city rights and the arms were regranted by Margrave Charles Frederick of Baden.
The colours are also the colours of Baden.
Even though the arms have not changed since, the shape and size of the lark have changed considerably.
The present arms have been used since the early 1960s and show a very modern variation of the lark.
After municipal reforms, the coat of arms was reconfirmed on November 11, 1975.
