Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 13, 1955 and reconfirmed on September 3, 1973.

The arms show the so-called gonfanon of the Palatinate Counts of Tübingen from the 12^th century. The gonfanon is also seen in the arms of the city of Tübingen, but the arms of the district show the gonfanon on a spear. The silver and red colours also differ from the arms of the city, and are a symbol for the former County Hohenberg, which was an Austrian possession. Red and silver are the Austrian colours.
