Württemberg was at first a small County in the south-western corner of present Germany, between Esslingen and Bad Cannstatt. The counts became more and more influential and were promoted to Dukes of Württemberg in 1495. In 1806 the territory became the Kingdom of Württemberg. After the first world war the Kingdom lost its independence and became a semi-independent Free-state in the new Republic. After the second world war it was combined with Baden and some additional territories to the State of [[Baden-Württemberg]]. | Württemberg was at first a small County in the south-western corner of present Germany, between Esslingen and Bad Cannstatt.

In 1933 the motto was re-introduced, but the semi-independence was lost. After the second world war the area was split in [[Württemberg-Baden]] and Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern. The latter used the arms of the Free State until 1952 when the two territories were combined to Baden-Württemberg. | |||
