Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, a bend wavy Azure, charged with three leaves Or shaped like hearts and flanked by two antlers Sable in bend.
Meaning:
The bend wavy is representing Kocher River, the leaves - the kind of tree isn't mentioned in source- are taken from the arms of the Lords of Gochsen. They are also alluding to the prefix "Hardt", which means a pasture in the woods. The antlers are reminding on Württemberg, to which the municipalities, forming Hardthausen, belonged.
