From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on 4 November 1974. The arms show the two rivers Rems and Murr, as well as the deer antler of the arms of Württemberg, as most of the county historically belonged to Württemberg.

Literature: H. Bardua, Die Kreis- und Gemeindewappen im Regierungsbezirk Stuttgart (County and Municipal Arms in the Stuttgart District), Theiss, Stuttgart, 1987.
