Sulz Coat of Arms

The golden yellow shield is divided by a red fess. The chief is superimposed by a black, sinister facing attire.
Meaning:
Sulz gained city rights in 1284 from the Lords of Geroldseck, the local rulers until 1472 and again from 1519-1534. Since 1534 the city is belonged to Württemberg. The city arms display the arms of the Lords of Geroldseck, a red bar in a golden field, which is displayed on seals from the 13th century. Since 1596 the attire was added in order to stress the sovereignty of Württemberg.
