Hardt (German pronunciation:[haʁt]) is a municipality in thedistrict of Rottweil, inBaden-Württemberg,Germany.
Hardt was first mentioned in 1416 as "Hard", a property in the township ofMariazell and of theHouse of Falkenstein [de],[2] who governed fromSchramberg. Schramberg was dissolved by the process ofGerman mediatization in 1806 and its territories were awarded to theKingdom of Württemberg. Hardt was assigned toOberamt Hornberg [de], which was dissolved on 2 October 1810 bya border treaty [de] with theGrand Duchy of Baden. Hardt was subsequently assigned to a newOberamt,Oberamt Oderndorf [de]. In 1839, Hardt became an independent municipality. The district of Oberndorf was dissolved on 1 October 1938, and Hardt returned to the jurisdiction of Rottweil.[3]
The municipality (Gemeinde) of Hardt covers 10.17 square kilometers (3.93 sq mi) ofthe district ofRottweil, in theGerman state ofBaden-Württemberg. Hardt is physically located in theCentral Black Forest. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high of 834 meters (2,736 ft)Normalnull (NN) at the Hochwald to a low of 597 meters (1,959 ft) NN on the Kirnbach at the border withSchramberg.[3]
Hardt'scoat of arms depicts, ingreen, a field with two fir trees upon afield ofwhite. Between the trees is a smallerblazon with a stag upon atrimount, both inyellow, upon a field ofblue. This pattern was devised in 1953 from aSchultheiß'sseal that featured the firs, but was distinguished from similar coats of arms by the addition of the arms of the House of Falkenstein. The arms of the 17th century Falkenstein zu Rimsingen line are erroneously used on Hardt's coat of arms.[3]
