From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on May 18, 1955. The dexter half shows the quartered shield of the Markgraves of Nürnberg of the Hohenzollern dynasty, who ruled the largest part of the county until 1806-10. The eagle is taken from the arms of the Imperial city of (Bad) Windsheim. The city was a free imperial area until 1803, when it became part of Bavaria.

Literature: Stadler 1964-1972.
