Nordheim Coat of Arms

Shield Or a plough share Azure.
Meaning:
Both a seal with prints since 1518 and a painting from 1618 already displayed the plough share, but topped by an antler of Württemberg. In a seal from 1724 the antler is impending over the shield. Afterwards the antler was omitted. The plough share as a farming tool became popular as a local symbol for many villages. It was the only charge of Nordheim in 1684. The tinctures were fixed in 1935.

Banner and arms were approved in 1963 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg.
