The emblem corresponds to the coat of arms of the former monastery of Münsterlingen.
On 1 January 1994 the new commune of Münsterlingen has been formed by the merger of Landschlacht and Scherzingen (see below). The name Münsterlingen was taken from the nearby monastery on the lake that existed from 986 to 1848, originally named Monasteriolum.
