Design Elements and Symbolism
The central figure is a majestic black eagle, prominently displayed in gold. The eagle is a symbol of the former Free Imperial City of Esslingen, a testament to its historical significance and independent status.
Positioned above a striking base, is a diagonal pattern of alternating black and gold checks. This checkered foundation symbolizes the Dukes of Teck, reflecting their historical influence over the area. Above the checkered foundation is a black eagle, armed and tongued red, perched gracefully upon a golden hunting horn, connected by a golden chain.
The golden hunting horn, with the golden chain, signifies the Counts of Urach, who once held dominion over the Nürtingen region. The chains adds another layer of historical depth, and visual interest.
The overall design is a sophisticated and symbolic fusion, a celebration of the district’s historical entities and noble families.
