Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) German Civic Heraldry NECKARSULM State : Baden-Württemberg District (Kreis) : Heilbronn Additions : 1970s Dahenfeld, Obereisesheim Origin/meaning: Neckarsulm was a part of the State of Mainz until 1484. The oldest seal dates from the early 14th century and thus shows the wheel of the State of Mainz. In 1484 the city was acquired by the Teutonic Order and shortly after the seals showed the cross and rings. The black cross is the symbol of the Teutonic Knights, the rings are derived from the arms of the Knight Rheinhard von Neipperg. During the centuries the rings were often shown as roses. Finally in 1955 the historical arms were officially granted, with the addition of the small cross, which was part of the great arms of the Order. Literature : Stadler, K. : Deutsche Wappen - Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Angelsachsen Verlag, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
