Ammerbuch (German pronunciation: [ˈamɐbuːx]) is a municipality in the district of Tübingen of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northwest of Tübingen and 345–551 metres (1,132–1,808 ft) above sea level. The name Ammerbuch is a portmanteau of the two locations between which the municipality is situated — Ammer Valley and the Schönbuch nature park.
The former municipal coat of arms shows, on a gold (yellow) field, a rooted green beech tree with a blue wave across its trunk. The tree symbolizes the Schönbuch park, the blue wave beam the Ammer River. The six aspiring branches and six roots of the beech represent the six villages that form Ammerbuch today.
