OBERTÜRKHEIM
State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Stuttgart
Incorporated into : 1922 Stuttgart
Origin/meaning
The oldest known seal of the village dates from the late 19th century and shows a cross, over which is placed a wheel, most likely in silver on a red field. In 1902 this combination was misinterpreted by the local council as a wheel. When the council needed a new seal in 1904 the above arms were proposed and adopted. The wheel was also explained as a symbol for the local industry.
Literature : Bardua, 1973.
