Meaning:
The antler is a modification of the arms of Württemberg. Fess embattled and bar wavy (blazon says: barrulet) are alluding to Waldenstein Castle and Wieslauf, a creek.

Shield Azure, two oars Or in saltire.
Meaning:
The oars (German: Ruder), canting elements, had been local symbols, long before the first seals appeared. They could be found on a renovated stone tablet at the local town hall, originally dated from 1593 and on a boundary stone from 1686. The first seal with prints since 1736 displayed the same pattern, in 1845 erroneously denoted as "new arms". The tinctures were fixed in 1936.

The banner was approved and the arms were confirmed on 29 January 1970 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg, published in GABl 798/1970.

Shield Or, a triplemount Gules, issuant from mount an aspen leaf Vert.
Meaning:
The name of the village changed frequently, all names had to do something with aspens. The leaf is thus a canting element. The village was first mentioned in 1365 and became an independent municipality in 1819, was however incorporated into Rudersberg in 1972.

Shield Argent a fess Gules; above a lion passant Sable, armed and tongued Gules; beneath a linden leaf Sable.
Meaning:
The arms were designed in 1954, as no older arms existed for the municipality. The lion is that one of the Stauffen kin, as the village probably was part of the properties of the Dukes of Swabia in the 11th century. Diepold of Schlechbach was mentioned as a knight ofEmperor Friedrich I Barbarossa of the Staufen kin. The red bar is taken from the seal of the Lords of Waldenstein, who owned the village in late medieval times. As no colours were known, the red colour was chosen arbitrarily. The linden leaf is taken from the early 19th century seal of the village of Lindenthal in the municipality and is canting for Lindenthal.
