Origin/meaning

The village of Veringen received town rights in 1285 from the Counts of Habsburg, who at the time ruled the town. Veringen itself developed around the castle of the Counts of Veringen, who ruled the town until 1280. The oldest seal of the town dates from around 1320 and already shows the lion and the deer antler. The lion is likely the lion of the Habsburg family. The antler is, contrary to most arms of Württemberg, derived from the arms of the Counts of Veringen. The composition first appears in a shield in the 18th century, with the antler in the chief.

In the late 19th century the lion was showed passant (walking) and the antler was shown in the upper part of the shield, but not in the chief. The present arms were finally officially granted in 1947.
