In gespaltenem Schild vorne dreimal von Gold und Schwarz geteilt, hinten in Silber auf grünem Dreiberg eine grüne Tanne.

Origin/meaning

The castle at Bühlertann was first mentioned as Tannberg in 1228 as a possession of the Ellwangen Imperial Abbey. The arms were granted in 1510 by Emperor Maximilian II.

The pine (Tanne) tree is a canting symbol. The bars in the right half of the shield are derived from the arms of the Abbott of Ellwangen at the time, from the Thumb von Neuburg family.
