Coat of arms of the Arch-Bannerbearer of the Holy Roman Empire (German: Heiligen Römischen Reich Erzbannerträger schild): Azure, a lance party per fess or and gules bendwise flying to sinister chief a banner or with the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) of the Holy Roman Empire (Reichssturmfahne ("Imperial War Flag"))
In the late medieval period, the cross design of the Reichsfahne was replaced by the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle). It was treated as an Imperial fief traditionally granted to Swabian nobles. In 1336 it was granted to w:Ulrich III, Count of Württemberg. On this occasion, it was first referred to as the Reichssturmfahne ("Imperial War Flag"). It remained part of the heraldic insignia of the w:House of Württemberg until the 19th century. The flag itself was kept in Stuttgart until 1944, when it was destroyed in a bombing raid. The flag showed the imperial eagle in a square field, with a red Schwenkel (pennon) on top
