Back of the standard
The parade and back of the standard of the standard coming from the left is identical to the standard of the city guard on horseback Tübingen . On a red background is the old saying of the aristocratic Württemberg "Hie gut Württemberg Allweg" above and below "Donated by Duke Philipp 1965" . The shield holders, on the right a black lion and on the left a golden stag, stand on a crimson ribbon of the Order of the Württemberg Crown with Württemberg's motto "fearless and trew" running from left to right . In the center under the Württemberg royal crown is the fourth royal coat of arms. Oberschwaben , the former Austrian provincial bailiff , receives three Staufer lions standing on top of each other on a golden background, for Teck black golden alarm clocks , for Markgröningen in blue the imperial storm flag in gold with a black imperial eagle, for Mömpelgard in red two golden barbs facing away from each other.
Front of the standard
On the front of the standard is the gold-embroidered inscription "Bürgerwehren in Württemberg and Hohenzollern" on slightly yellowish silk. Including the then newly designed coat of arms of the association. It is surrounded by a wreath of laurel and oak leaves . It says "God - Home - Fatherland" embroidered in gold . The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of the Swabian Empire from the late 17th century. At that time, the Reichskreis roughly corresponded to today's state of Baden-Württemberg . The upper part of the shield is black with a white cross, underneath the three Staufer black, red-tongued lions symbolic of the entire coat of arms. A black lion, proclaiming loyalty, vigilance and steadfastness, holds the shield. Lion and shield stand in front of a red brick wall, a symbol for the defensive community. The background is a silver sky, so the coat of arms of Hohenzollern is black and silver.
After an appraisal, the former royal house endorsed the standard. The order went to the Carl Neff company in Biberach . The standard was carried out for the first time at the regional meeting in Weingarten on July 1, 1966 and consecrated by Father Basilius Nägele as part of a field service. Carl Herzog von Württemberg , on behalf of his father, handed over the association standard to the armed forces. In 1998 the standard was repaired and restored.
