Tübingen Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (= yellow) shield is a red gonfanon. The shield is topped by two arms, dressed in red puff sleeves slit golden (= yellow) and holding a black attire each.
Meaning:
The colours red and yellow and the gonfanon are symbols of the Palatine Counts of Tübingen. They founded the city in the second half of the 12th century. The city adopted their arms in the early 13th century. The arms had not been changed, after the city was acquired by Württemberg in 1342. The arms with attires were granted in 1514 by Duke Ulrich as a reward for the loyal support during the insurrection of Konrad the Poor against the duke.
