Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess; above Or, a demi-lion issuant Gules armed and tongued Azure; beneath Azure three water-lily leaves Argent ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
Zwingenberg gained freedoms and privileges in 1274 by King Rudolf. The Counts of Katzenelnbogen, the local rulers, were vassals of the Archbishops of Mainz. The oldest seal probably was made in the end of the 13th century, but the oldest remaining copy dates from 1350. It already displays the current arms. The demi-lion is a modification of the arms of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen. The leaves are probably symbolising the position on the banks of Neckar River. The composition of the arms never changed, the colours of the leaves on the other hand changed often. The colours were finally made official in 1963.
