Berglen Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (= yellow) shield on top of a green triple mount is a cherry tree of the same colour having nine leaves.
Meaning:
On 1 April 1972 the municipalities of Bretzenacker, Ödernhardt, Öschelbronn, Oppelsbohm, Reichenbach (Winnenden), Rettersburg, Steinach and Vorderweißbuch merged and formed the new municipality of Berglen. On 1 January 1975 Hößlinswarth was incorporated. The triple mount is alluding to the landscape, which gave the name of the new municipality. The cherry tree is representing a special kind of cultivated cherry trees in the area and was already part of the arms of three of the former municipalities. The number of leaves is symbolizing the nine former municipalities.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 1 September 1978 by the county administration, published in GABl 326/1979.
