The arms show the eagle taken from the arms of the city of [[Rottweil]], as the city ruled most of the district for many centuries. Already in the 14<sup>th</sup> century the Counts of [[Württemberg]] acquired some estates, this is represented by the deer antler in the claws of the eagle. The breast-shield is derived from the Austrian arms, as the city of Oberndorf and the Hohenberg estate were acquired by Austria in 1381. | The arms show the eagle taken from the arms of the city of [[Rottweil]], as the city ruled most of the district for many centuries.
