All suburbs were dominated by agriculture, while from the 1920s only little industry settled, so that Hardthausen is now predominantly a residential community for commuters from the surrounding cities and communities. Due to the designation of extensive new development areas, the suburbs have grown significantly beyond their original settlement areas. Around 15 hectares of land have been newly developed since 1998, with more to follow.

Hardthausen's coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms of Hardthausen am Kocher reads: In silver, a blue, sloping, wavy bar, covered with three diagonally upwardly directed heart-shaped golden leaves and accompanied on each side by a diagonally downwardly directed black stag pole. The flag of the municipality is blue and white.

The coat of arms, newly created after the emergence of Hardthausen in the municipal reform, combines elements of the coats of arms of the three predecessor municipalities. The sloping wave bar symbolizes the cooker , the three leaves are derived from the coat of arms of the Lords of Gochsen, but can also be related to Hardt (pasture forest) as part of the name. The Württemberg stag sticks remind of the fact that all three parts of the community belong to Württemberg . The coat of arms and the flag were awarded to the community on June 14, 1977 by the district office of Heilbronn.
