Official blazon

In von Schwarz und Silber im Zinnenschnitt schräglinks geteiltem Schild oben ein rüttelnder silberner Turmfalke.

Origin/meaning

The arms are partly canting, the division line symbolising a castle (Burg). The local castle, Schalksburg, was a possession of the Lords of Zollern, the colours of the arms are derived from the arms of the family.
