Pfalzgrafenweiler Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, two axes Or in saltire, in chief a coronet Or.
Meaning:
The name of the municipality means: "hamlet of the palatine counts". The Palatine Counts of Tübingen owned the village and the castle above. Both had been acquired by the Counts of Eberstein and finally in 1421 by Württemberg. The axes are symbolising forestry in the local state forest around the village. The coronet is alluding to the palatine counts, so do the tinctures. The pattern is known from local seals since 1835. The coronet had been either in or above the shield.

Banner and arms probably never had been approved officially.

Bösingen Coat of Arms

On the base of a golden (= yellow) shield is a green hill with two fir trees of the same colour, which are flanking a red tower.
Meaning:
In 1363 the Counts of Hohenberg sold the village to the Margraves of Württemberg. Bösingen became part of the Freudenstadt County (Oberamt) in 1938 and was incorporated into the municipality of Pfalzgrafenweiler in 1975. The tower is the only remaining part of Mandelburg Castle, which had been burned down during a peasants' insurrection in 1525.

The coat of arms was adopted in 1930.
