Origin/meaning
The oldest known seal of Abstatt dates from 1628 and shows a lion on a hill. The lion is the lion of the family and Estate Löwenstein, as Abstatt was bought by Löwenstein in 1490. Several other seals until the early 20th century all show the lion.
The present arms were designed in 1907 by the State Archives, who added a canting crosier (Abt=Abbot). These arms were adopted by the municipality on November 21, 1907.
As the crosier was a religious symbol, the State Archives also proposed a second design, showing the lion under a chief with the deer antler of Wüttemberg. The council, however, did not object to the first design.
 The arms shown in an album from 1952 |
