Unter goldenem Schildhaupt, darin eine liegende schwarze Hirschstange, in Schwarz eine goldene Waage.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1950, but used since 1925.
The colours as well as the deer antler refer to Württemberg, as the area historically was part of the Duchy. The scales refer to the local fine mechanics industry.
