Origin/meaning
Gernsbach probably received city rights before 1250, and became the capital of the County Eberstein in the 13th century. The oldest seal is known since 1394, but the style indicates that it dates from the 13th century. It shows the rose of the Counts of Eberstein and a ships-hook, probably a symbol for the shipping on the Murg. In the late 14th century the city became part of Baden, and already in 1441 the present arms appear in the seals. During the 19th century the hooks gradually changed into so-called wolf-irons.
The present arms, with the wolf-irons, were officially granted in 1898. All later additions did not change the arms.
