Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 19, 1980.
The arms combine elements of the previous arms (see below) with the fence from the old arms of Pfahlbronn and the mountain in the base of Vordersteinenberg.
The oldest known seal of the town dates from 1550 and shows half a fleur-de-lis with three acorns hanging under it. It probably symbolises the fact that the family Von Rechberg owned one third of the area and the dukes of Württemberg owned two thirds.
The previous arms of Alfdorf are shown below:
