Coat of arms[]

The coat of arms for Winterlingen displays two general areas, divided vertically into two halves. The left half has two fields: an upper white and a lower red, and the right half has a yellow half with three stag antlers. These are, respectively, the coats of arms for the County of Hohenberg, impaled with that of Württemberg. This pattern is from a seal that began usage in Winterlingen's town hall in 1930 and replaced an earlier seal, used by the local Schultheiß. This coat of arms was approved by the post-WWII provisional Württemberg-Hohenzollern government on 13 July 1951.[3]
