Origin/meaning

Neuenburg developed around the castle founded in 1100 by the Counts of Calw. In the 13^th century the city was the center of the Northern Schwarzwald region. The oldest known seal dates from around 1400 and shows a canting castle (Burg). All later seals and arms showed a tower, but the size, shape and colour changed regularly. The present arms were officially granted in 1956.
