Identified by Michel Royer. These are the arms of Öllingen, a municipality in the district of Alb-Donau in Baden-Württemberg in Germany on the southern slope of the Swabian Jura, in the northern Alb Danube county, about 18 km northeast of Ulm Wikipedia.

Its close proximity to Ulm probably meant that it was part of Ulm's wide hinterland that produced local fustians made of cotton and linen.
