Origin/meaning

Asperg got city rights already in 1310, which were renewed in 1785. The first known seal dates from 1560 and shows an aspen (canting), under two deer antlers (the arms of Württemberg). In 1963 the three-topped hill was added. In addition to this, 17th and 18^th century seals showed some stars around the tree. The present arms are used since the last century.

The arms in the Chorographia Württemberg (Wolleber, 1591)	The arms on an 1877 poster
The arms on a municipal stamp (1892)	The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
The arms shown in an album from 1952
