Wappen von Gaildorf

Official blazon

In Rot zwei schräg gekreuzte silberne Flößerhaken, überdeckt von einem silbernen Floß.

Origin/meaning

Gaildorf received city rights in 1404 from King Ruprecht I. The oldest seal dates from the same time and shows a shield with in the upper half two crossed clubs and in the lower half a raft. The clubs are the symbol of the Erbschenken of Limpurg, who at the time ruled the city. The raft (Floss) is a symbol for the raft-sailing on the Kocher.
On later seals and images the clubs changed into boat-hooks and the two elements were combined to the present composition. Nevertheless, in the 19th century the old divided shield re-appeared. In 1906 the present arms were officially granted, and confirmed in 1930.
