Adopted 13.07.1988, according to Dirk Schönberger's Administrative Divisions of the World website. From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on May 13, 1955 and reconfirmed on September 3, 1973. The arms show the so-called gonfanon of the Palatinate Counts of T�bingen from the 12th century. The gonfanon is also seen in the arms of the city of T�bingen, but the arms of the district show the gonfanon on a spear. The silver and red colours also differ from the arms of the city, and are a symbol for the former County Hohenberg, which was an Austrian possession. Red and silver are the Austrian colours.

Literature: Stadler 1964-1972.
