Eislingen Coat of Arms

The shield is quarterly divided into silver (= white) and blue. The top quarters are superimposed by an antler in counterchanged colours.
Meaning:
In 1933 the municipalities of Kleineislingen and Großeislingen (little and great) merged. On this occasion Eislingen also gained the rank of a city. Eislingen overtook the arms of Großeislingen, a quartered shield (silver and blue), the top quarters superimposed by a black attire, symbolilizing that the municipality belonged to Württemberg since 1806. Exactly 100 years later the municipal arms were granted. The biggest part of Kleineislingen belonged to Württemberg already since 1492. The quartered shield is alluding to the Bishopric of Würzburg (see e.g. Würzburg and Lauda-Königshofen), but the red colour was erroneously replaced by Bavarian Blue. In 1955 the black attire was replaced by the attire in counterchanged colours. Kleineislingen used arms displaying a fork and a sword crossed (per saltire?) since 1929.

Banner and coat of arms were overtaken in 1933 from the former municipality of Großeislingen. Thus the current version was adopted in 1955.
