Description

Red-yellow with the arms. Source: Falko Schmidt [arms from H. John, H. Köckert and G. Wüst, Die Kreis- und Gemeindewappen im Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe, Theiss, Stuttgart, 1990].

Adopted 23.01.1991, according to Dirk Schönberger's Administrative Divisions of the World website. From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

After the county reform (...) new arms were granted on May 24, 1974. The arms show in the first quarter the arms of Rastatt city [the so-called Raste, a device used by grape-farmers to carry materials], in the second the grapes taken from the arms of the former county Bühl [symbolising viticulture, one of the main agricultural activities], the lower part shows again the rose of [the Counts of] Eberstein and the bend of Baden. For heraldic reasons the rose was changed in colour.
