Reichenbach Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a red shield is a silver (= white) plough share. The shield has a golden (= yellow) chief superimposed by a black attire.
Meaning:
The arms are a combination of the attire of Württemberg and a local village symbol, the plough share. It is known as a village symbol since 1588. It is also known from boundary stones since 1685. The attire was added early in the 20th century. The colours and the current pattern were fixed about 1930.

The banner was approved on 9 November 1966 by minister of interior of Baden-Württemberg, published in GABl 129/1967.
