Origin/meaning

The County Zollern was a small county located in the present-day German state of Baden-Württemberg. It existed as an independent territory from around 1110 until 1288, when it was divided into Hohenzollern and Zollern-Schalksburg.

The arms show a quartered shield which was the arms of the medieval counts. It was, and still is, used by the Hohenzollern family,and thus part of numerous town and personal arms.

The arms in the Wapen- en Vlaggenboek van Gerrit Hesman (1708)
