The red shield is divided by a silver (= white) pall reversed wavy. Above right and left are is a golden (= yellow) cross trefly.
Meaning:
The pall wavy is symbolizing the confluence of Echaz, a local creek, and Neckar river. Red and silver (= white) had been the colours of the Counts of Hohenberg, the former rulers, and their successors since 1381, the Archdukes of Austria. The crosses are alluding to the prefix "Kirch-" (i.e. church).
