The imperial eagle in the coat of arms derives from the coat of arms of the free imperial city Rottweil. Below the eagle is a deer antler, the symbol of Württemberg, as part of the district belonged to the kingdom Württemberg well before Rottweil itself became part of it. The shield on the breast pf the eagle show the colors of Austria, symbolizing the area around the city of Oberndorf which was aquired by Austria in 1381. |
