Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1907 when Zuffenhausen received city rights.

Previously the village used in the 17^th century the letter Z on its seals, and in the 18^th century the combination of a plough iron and a star. The above arms show again the plough iron as the old village sign, and a wheel as a symbol for the industry in the city. The figure on the bend is described as a 'Zuffenhauser Hirt' or a shepherd from Zuffenhausen. The shepherd is mentioned in a poem by Ludwig Uhland.
