Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1969 and show in the upper part the deer antler of Württemberg. Tailfingen (city since 1930) became a possession of Württemberg in 1403, before this date it belonged to the Zollern family. The spinner represents the local textile industry, whereas the bear represents Sankt Gallen. The church in Truchtelfingen, part of Tailfingen, was founded in the 9^th century by the Abbey of Sankt Gallen.
