Wappen von Triberg im Schwarzwald

Official blazon

Über grünem Dreiberg in von Silber und Rot geviertem Schild zwei gestürzte zugewendete Hifthörner in verwechselten Farben.

Origin/meaning

The arms, which are a combination of the oldest arms and the Austrian quartered shield, are granted in 1962, but in practice they have been used since the beginning of the century.

The arms are based on the arms of the Lords of Hornberg. Until 1325 the city was part of the Lordship of Hornberg. Until 1355 it was a possession of the Counts of Hohenebrg and since 1355 it was an Austrian possession.
The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1501, but may be of 14th century origin. It shows the arms of Hornberg, including the canting three-topped mountain in the base of the shield (Triberg=three-mountain).

In the 19th century the arms were changed, to distinguish the arms of Hornberg and Triberg. The arms of Triberg now quartered in Austrian colours (red and white), with in each quarter a horn. The mountain was added, but coloured blue.
