Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 19, 1976.
Neubulach received city rights from the Counts of Hohenberg between 1273 and 1281. The first official designation as a city dates from 1300. The city was probably founded as a result of the mining of silver in the area.
Im 1355 the city was the capital of the Wildberg-Bulach territory, in 1363-1377 it was sold to Ruprecht of the Pfalz in two parts adn in 1440 it was sold to the Counts of Württemberg, to which it belonged until the 19th century.
The oldest seal of the city dates from 1300 and already shows the imperial eagle. All later seals also show the eagle either in or without a shield. Sometimes the eagle was crowned, but since the early 20th century the crown has been removed.
