White-blue with the arms. The empty (or 'bare') quarters of the arms can be interpreted as canting for part of the county's name. Sources: Falko Schmidt, arms from H. John and M. Heine 1989 [read below].
Stefan Schwoon, 26 March 2001
From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:
The arms were granted on June 7, 1974. The four quarters and the colours are a combination of the divisions of the arms of the former two counties [both parted per pale] as well as the city of Schwenningen [parted per fess]. The eagle is taken from the arms of the city of Villingen and is also a symbol for the Princes of Fürstenberg, who held many possessions in the area.Literature: H. John and M. Heine, Die Kreis- und Gemeindewappen im Regierungsbezirk Freiburg, Theiss, Stuttgart, 1989, 142 pp., ISBN 3-8062-0803-4.
The eagle in the Villingen city arms (...) most likely derives from the arms of the Zähringen family, who ruled the city at the time [13th century].
Literature: Stadler 1964-1972.
