In gespaltenem Schild vorne in Silber drei liegende schwarze Hirschstange übereinander, hinten in Schwarz ein blauer Reichsapfel mit goldenem Beschläg und Kreuz.
Origin/meaning
The oldest seal of the city, dating from the early 14th century, shows a single eagle. In 1324 the town became part of Württemberg and soon thereafter the three deer antlers appeared. At first the antlers were in the proper colours (black on gold) , but in the 16th or 17th century the colours were changed. This was probably done to avoid confusion with the arms of Württemberg. The right part of the shield is probably derived from the arms of the St. Pancratius monastery in the town.
