Rechberghausen Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In silver (= white) shield a red, rampant roebuck is standing on top of a green triple mount.
Meaning:
In the 1930s the local seal showed an ibex on a hill. As the ibex has no meaning for the municipality, it was decided in 1932 to change to a deer. The arms are canting (Rechberg is Rehberg and Reh=roebuck; Berg=mountain).

The banner was approved on 18 February 1959 by minister of interior of Baden-Württemberg, published in GABl 127/1959. The coat of arms was approved on 16 October 1932.
