Šentrupert was established on 14 June 2006.[3] Before that date, it was a local community within the Municipality of Trebnje.
On 15 April 2010, the municipal councillors adopted a coat of arms and flag proposed by Aleksander Hribovšek. The coat of arms was based upon that posthumously and fictitiously attributed to Hemma of Gurk and that of the family of Barbo von Waxenstein. It consists of a lion or (gold) on a field azure (blue) holding a crescent argent (silver) in its right paw.
