Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 1, 1977.

Nagold was a possession of the Counts of Hohenberg since the early 13^th century. The counts also granted the city rights in the early 14^th century. In 1363 the city became part of Württemberg. The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1352 and shows the divided shield of the Counts of Hohenberg. In the 17^th century a canting nail (Nagel) was added to the arms. Initially the nail was silver, but later the nail was changed into blue. The arms have thus not changed since.
