In goldenem, silbern bordiertem Schild drei liegende schwarze Hirschstangen übereinander.

Origin/meaning

The town was founded in the early 13th century and became part of Württemberg in 1377. The arms show the arms of Württemberg, the three deer antlers. Already in the oldest seal of the city, dating from the end of the 14th century, the three antlers appear. In the 16th century the bordure was added, probably to distinguish the arms of the town from the arms of the state.

Besides the arms, a fleur-de-lis has sometimes been used as a symbol for the city.
