history

Eichelberg was first mentioned in 1275 and is probably a relatively young development settlement, which was probably founded from a hamlet , with which the place formed a common mark . The local rule was exercised by the lords of Weiler until 1806 . After the media coverage of the imperial knights hamlets and Eichelsberg were initially managed for some years by a joint council community. A dispute about participation in the costs for the expansion of the road from Willsbach via Affaltrach to Weiler, which was not continued to Eichelberg, but should have been co-financed by the citizens, gave the impetus for the separation of Weiler in 1827, which was awarded and awarded in 1828 Was confirmed in 1830. In 1849 the Friedrichshof was added to the Eichelberger Markung . On May 1, 1972, the new municipality of Obersulm was created through the merger of the municipalities of Affaltrach, Eichelberg, Eschenau, Weiler bei Weinsberg and Willsbach. On January 1, 1975, Sülzbach was incorporated.

coat of arms

The blazon of the Eichelberg coat of arms reads: In blue a five-leaf silver oak branch curved to the left with an acorn and an acorn bowl. The municipality's flag was white and blue.

The talking coat of arms can be identified for the first time in 1930 in a stamp from the mayor's office; the colors were presumably determined by the archives in 1948. Since the coat of arms was only used in the chosen colors after the German municipal code of 1935 came into force , it had to be awarded retrospectively. It was awarded to the community together with the flag on July 2, 1963 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior.
