Bad Friedrichshall Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent an orb Azure with clasp Argent and cross Sable over three barrulets wavy Azure, at sinister Azure a horse forcene Argent.
Meaning:
Bad Friedrichshall was built from three municipalities in 1933/1935. It gained city rights in 1951. The barrulets are representing the local rivers Neckar, Jagst and Kocher. The orb is taken from the local seal of former Jagstfeld Municipality, already known since 1797. The horse is taken from the arms of former Kocherfeld Municipality. It was known from seals since 1820. Kocherfeld had been a market town since 1559. In 1599 the Holzpfalzgraf Johann Erhard Hettinger granted arms, which however had been considered as illegal.

The arms were adopted by the city in 1936 and confirmed in 1963 by Minister of Interior of Baden-Württemberg.
