Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 7, 1960.
The chief is based on the bordure from the arms of the Counts of Fürstenberg, who acquired the city of Blumberg in 1537.
The lower half shows symbols industry and two leaves; an oak leaf for the local Eichberg (oak-mountain) and a beech leaf for the Buchberg (beech-mountain).
Blumberg was founded as a town by the Lords of Blumberg around 1400. The oldest known seal dates from 1584 and shows a divided shiwld, with in the upper half the 'waves' of Fürstenberg and in the lower half a triple mountain. Around 1500 the town did not have its own arms, as by then on a border stone the arms of the lord of the town, Hans von Landau appeared.
A second seal was made in 1575 and also shows the same arms. In the 19th century the triple mountain disappears and the lower half is now plain. The colours are not known. Also, in the 19th century the designation Stadt (city) was replaced by Gemeinde (municipality).
Based on the old arms and seals, the State Archives proposed in 1903 the arms below, which were not adopted by the municipality. In the 1920s the arms appeared in the Coffee Hag albums by Otto Hupp, who used more historically correct colours.
The seals of the city:
Seal from 1567-1578
Seal from 1575
Seal from around 1845
Seal from the 19th century
Seal from around 1900
 The proposal from 1903 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
In 1957 the State Archives again proposed the design from 1903, but again the municipality rejected the proposal. After long discussions the current arms were proposed and finally accepted by the city.
