Ostelsheim Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess; above Or a demi-lion Sable, armed and tongued Argent; beneath Sable a four spokes wheel Or.
Meaning:
Local rulers had been the Counts of Calw, later the sovereignty was divided between the Palatine Counts of Tübingen and until 1282 the Counts of Vaihingen, a branch line of the Counts of Calw. In 1357 the village became a part of Württemberg. In 1439 also the church was sold to Württemberg by Reverend Hans Söler of Richtenberg. Local seals at least since 1930 just displayed an initial "O" flanked by two crossed palm fronds. The current arms are based on the family arms of the Söler kin, which displayed in a shield, parted per fess of Or and Sable, a crowned lion in counterchanged colours. The lion is also considered to allude to the Counts of Calw. The wheel was a local symbol of Ostelsheim.
