[3] The municipality (Gemeinde) of Nusplingen is located at the southern edge of the Zollernalb district of Baden-Württemberg, a state of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Its primary watercourse is the Bära river, which flows through the municipality from north to south and whose valley dominates its landscape.

[3] Population development:[4] Nusplingen's coat of arms shows an eagle's leg, with claws bared, in yellow upon a field of red.

This pattern was taken from that of an extinct local noble family and was approved for official use by the provisional post-WWII Württemberg-Hohenzollern government on 16 May 1950.

Previous municipal emblems include a town seal from 1515 and a pattern of blue-black-yellow wavy bars devised in 1930.
