Coat of Arms

The coat of arms of Stuttgart shows a black, rampant horse on a yellow or golden field. It is a canting seal due to the fact that the name "Stuttgart" is an over the centuries modified version of "Stutengarten", in English roughly "stud garden" or stud farm. This is due to the origin of the city as a horse stable in the 10th century, where horses were bred for cavalry (see History).

The members of parliament were driven out of Frankfurt, and the most radical members (those who wanted to establish a republic) fled to Stuttgart.
