Murr Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per pale into golden (= light orange yellow) and red. The dexter side displays a red chalice. The sinister side displays a golden (= light orange yellow) horn with a green hanger. The golden (= light orange yellow) chief is superimposed by a black antler.
Meaning:
The antler is a symbol of the Counts of Württemberg. Maybe the horn is another symbol of Württemberg taken from the helmet's crest. The chalice might be a local symbol.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 18 April 1980 by the county administration, published in GABl 230/1981.
