Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 25, 1950.

Sulzberg developed around the local castle, built around 1170. The village developed to an important town, but it never had its own seals or arms.

The above arms are based on the arms of the medieval Schenken von Sulzberg family, the oldest known lords of the village, who founded the local castle.
