The village of Erdmannhausen became a possession of the Prince-Bishop of Speyer in 972, but would pass from the County of Calw[de] to the County of Calw-Löwenstein, and then to the County of Württemberg. The Counts Württemberg began acquiring more and more of the village until it fully came under their control in 1425. From the 15th century to 1938, Erdmannhausen was assigned to the district of Marbach am Neckar, which was dissolved and replaced by Landkreis Ludwigsburg.[2]
Erdmannhausen has one borough (Ortsteil), Erdmannhausen, and two villages, Bugmühle and Lemberghöfe. There are four abandoned villages, Äußeres Höfle, Eglolfshofen, Inneres Höfle, and Weikershausen.[2]
Coat of arms
Erdmannhausen's coat of arms displays a crosier, in gold, upon a field of blue, below a yellow chief containing a blackstag antler[de]. The crosier is a reference to Murrhardt Abbey[de], which owned the Januariuskirche in Erdmannhausen, and the stag horn to Württemberg. This coat of arms was designed and accepted by Erdmannhausen's municipal council on 2 June 1954, and was confirmed on 19 October 1954 by the government of Baden-Württemberg and a municipal flag issued.[2]
