Origin/meaning

Schorndorf was founded around 1250 by the Counts of Württemberg and the city was fortified around 1290. The oldest seal is known since 1293 and until the late 18th century all seals show the two crossed spades. The spades (Schoren) are a canting element. The chief with the deer antler of Württemberg appears for the first time in the late 13th century, but was removed from 1312-the late 16th century when the city was a possession of Esslingen. The colours are known since 1535.
