Ammerbuch is a municipality in the district of Tübingen of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated 7 km northwest of Tübingen and between 345 and 551 meters 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 in gold (yellow) a rooted green beech, covered with a lowered blue wave beam. The tree symbolizes the Schönbuch, the blue wave beam the Ammer. The six aspiring branches and six indigenous roots of beech represent the six villages that form village Ammerbuch today.
