Zimmern Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess indented of Argent over Gules.
Meaning:
Around 1930 the municipality adopted a seal, displaying a castle on a high rock, surrounded by a frame, shaped like a shield. Tinctures had been suggested on 27 November 1933 by the General State Archive in Stuttgart, but those arms never had been approved. After WW2 the municipality adopted the family arms of the extincted Counts of Sulz, local rulers in the Medieval. The arms quasi display a Franconian rake with inverted tinctures.

The arms were approved on 8 June 1949 by Minister of Interior of Württemberg-Hohenzollern. The banner was approved on 29 March 1982 by the county administration, published in GABl 559/1983.
