Origin/meaning

Waldenbuch received city right from the Counts of Hohenberg in the middle of the 14th century. The oldest known seal dates from the 15th century and shows a beech (Buche) above a deer antler. The antler is derived from the arms of Württemberg, to which the city belonged. Later seals all showed the same composition until around 1700. The new seals showed a shield with the above arms. The same composition, however, was first used around 1585, and was shown in books and other sources, but not on the official seals of the city.
