Description of coat of arms:
In a silver (= white) shield is a black attire.
Meaning:
Münsingen became a residence of the Counts of Württemberg in the 13th century. The city rights were granted between 1263 and 1339. The oldest seal dates from 1339 and displays an attire from the arms of Württemberg. Later seals and arms displayed three attires and a red bordure, but in the late 17th century the bordure was removed again. In the early 20th century the two additional attires were removed and the historical arms were restored. Before 1948 the colour of the shield was not clear, Hupp used the golden field of Württemberg.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 18 Dezember 1972 by minister of interior of Baden-Württemberg, published in GABl 1085/1973.

Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (= yellow) shield is a red wolf trap topped by a red coronet.
Meaning:
Buttenhausen is first mentioned in 1275 within the "Liber decimationis", a cadastral register of the Bishopric of Konstanz. But it is surely much older. The local rulers changed often, until the village became a part of Württemberg in 1805. In 1906 the local council adopted a coat of arms displaying a shield thrice divided per fess into silver (= white) and black with one attire symbolizing Württemberg in the chief. The arms had been a modification of those of the Lords of Liebenstein, who caused the settlement of Jewish families in 1787. The se arms were abolished in 1966 and replaced by the current arms. The coronet is symbolizing the changing rulers while the wolf trap is a modification from the arms of the Lords of Stein.

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per pale into blue and gold (= yellow). The dexter side displays a silver (= white), rampant dog. The sinister side displays an upright, black attire.
Meaning:
The dog is symbolizing the influential Lords of Hundersingen, who ruled the village in the 12th century. After their power declined, they sold it in the 14th century to the Counts of Württemberg. This is symbolized by the attire. The colours of the flag are the background colours of the coat of arms.

Description of coat of arms:
In a blue shield is a silver (= white) manor with a red roof. The shield has a golden (= yellow) base, superimposed by a black attire.
Meaning:
The sovereignty was divided between the Lords of Baldeck, whose portion became a dominion of Württemberg in the 16th century, and the Lords of Magolsheim. Furthermore there had been a schism. The Dukes of Württemberg were Protestants whilst the Lords of Magolsheim remained Catholics. It was a target to stress the common values of the municipality. Thus the kings' forester's lodge was chosen as main charge. It was purchased by the municipality in 1841 and later on used as a school and as town hall. The attire is symbolizing the sovereignty of Württemberg. The colours of the banner are the base colours of the coat of arms.
